There are loads of of things to do in the garden now, but some of the top garden jobs for July are:

– Sow salads seeds, plus other veg eg; broccoli and spring cabbage
– Look out for mildew usually a sign that the plant is too dry, so prune effective leaves and water well
– Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering season
– Rejuvenate perennials, by giving some of them a hard chop back eg. Geraniums
– Turn compost heaps to add oxygen
– Trim evergreen hedges to keep them in shape, but avoid a really sunny day which could scorch the leaves, and make sure no nesting birds.

Some plants looking great now are:
– Achilleas in different colours
– Gaura for a ‘froth’ or pink or white
– Penstemons
– Salvia Caradonna
