Jobs In The Garden.....July and August


One of the great things about doing all that hard work in the garden, is the time when you can sit back with a chilled glass of wine and enjoy the benefits. The past few weeks we have had great weather to be able to do so. Here's a few of the jobs you should be keeping an eye on over the next few weeks heading into late Summer......


Prune plum trees, as Summer pruning reduces the risk of silver leaf


Keep feeding and watering those baskets and containers


Prune hedging - regular clipping is essential to maintain shape and healthy growth


Prune Wisteria and Summer fruiting raspberries


Take cuttings


Dead head roses and fertilise


Prune rambling roses after flowering

This pretty Chinese Witch Hazel would make a great addition to the garden.

An extremely handsome shrub with large clusters of sweetly scented, broad petalled flowers, borne on naked branches from December through to March.

It is a deciduous shrub with large hairy leaves turning bright yellow in Autumn.

Full hardy. Place in a sunny or semi shade spot.

Apply an organic mulch in early Spring.
