Now is a very good time to take a moment or two and sit in a nice spot in your garden and enjoy a moment of summer! There are a few jobs to be pottering on with as well 🙂
- Take cuttings of tender perennials such as Salvia.
- Clear some of your early flowering annuals and biennials to make way for later flowering plants.
- Deadhead, deadhead, deadhead.
- Water pots regularly, the rain often will not get to them.
- Pick posies of annuals mixed with some foliage, it will encourage your plants to keep flowering.
- Prune back lavender when it looks tired (tie a couple of bunches to hang in the house).
- Stake tall plants such as Gladioli if you haven’t already.
- Pinch out side-shoots of tomato plants.
- Keep picking courgettes!
- Prune plum trees.
- Keep raspberry plants tidy and tie in to supports.
