Jobs to do in the garden this month…
Divide your herbaceous perennials
Deadhead roses if they’re repeat flowering types
Net ponds now before autumn leaf fall gets underway
Keep camellias and rhododendrons well watered at this time of year
Plant spring flowering bulbs
Strim or mow areas of wild meadow now that the plants have scattered their seeds
Continue to feed and deadhead hanging baskets and container annuals
Fill any gaps in borders with pots of tall bulbs
Clean out greenhouses
Give wisteria it’s summer prune, cut long side shoots back to 20cm
Regularly deadhead bedding and perennial to encourage new blooms
Prune all summer flowering shrubs once the blooms are finished
Trim Lavendar plants after flowering
