WEBBS JULY GARDENING LIST
July often is one of the hottest months of the year, meaning it can be a great time to sit out in the garden. You’ll need to keep plants looking good by regular deadheading to enjoy longer displays. Make sure you’re keeping plants well-watered and hoe off any weeds which will thrive in the sunshine.
Webbs Grounds team have compiled their list of the top jobs to do in the garden this month:
-
Check clematis for any signs of wilting.
-
Ensure your houseplants are getting enough water if it begins to get warm.
-
Water tubs and new plants if dry but be careful not to overwater.
-
Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering.
-
Pick courgettes before they become marrows.
-
Treat apple scab.
-
Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds and remember to keep them topped up.
-
Order catalogues for next years spring-flowering bulbs.
-
Give the lawn a quick-acting summer feed but ensure you don’t feed the wildflower patches or meadows.
-
Harvest any apricots, peaches or nectarines.
