Tasks for July
WEEDS
Keep on top of hoeing and hand-weeding borders, so that weeds don't have time to set seed. As the saying goes 'One year's seeds equals seven years weeds!'
GENERAL
Look out for pests such as lily beetles, snails, aphids and vine weevils, and remove before they do too much harm.
ROSES
Feed and deadhead roses to keep them flowering strongly. Healthy plants are less likely to become diseased.
GROW YOUR OWN
Keep picking your courgettes before they become gigantic prize winning marrows!
WILDLIFE
If you have a pond then plant low-growing plants at the edges of your pond so that baby frogs have safe hiding places to shelter in.
GROW YOUR OWN
Pick and enjoy your Strawberries and Raspberries regularly. You deserve it after all your hard work!
