Jobs for July


·        After the ‘June drop’ thin out overcrowded apples, pears and plums for a better quality crop.

·        At the beginning of the month feed roses for a second time and deadhead regularly to keep them flowering.

·        Remove flowering spikes of early spring/summer plants eg. foxgloves, delphiniums and verbascums.

·        After spring bulb foliage is cleared fill spaces with pots of flowering summer bulbs eg. lilies.

·        Pinch out tops of runner beans and check staking is secure now plants are larger.
