Topical tips for September

When the weather is hot keep those greenhouses cool with shading, and damping down of the paths.

Continue to pick runner beans etc. in the kitchen garden. It is not too late to sow quick crops of radish etc.

Dead heading the herbaceous borders will prolong the display, but if you want to save seed, don't forget to leave some flowerheads uncut!

It is not too late to cut back unruly wisteria, trimming off the wispy bits to 5 leaves, and tying in any branches to fill gaps.

It is still possible to take cuttings from the more tender varieties such as penstemon and salvia.
Continue to trim hedges. Putting a sheet down first to catch the clippings will make clearing up a lot quicker.
