Spetchley Park Gardens - July Tasks

Feed roses etc with a general fertiliser such as gromore, and continue to deadhead spent flowers.

Trim back geraniums and aubretia in the borders after flowering Continue harvesting peas, lettuce, early tomatoes etc in the kitchen garden.

Prune wisteria tendrils back to 5 buds.

Start collecting seed in paper envelopes when the weather is dry.

It will soon be time to take softwood cuttings of plants such as hebes, fuchsia, salvia and penstemon.

Thoroughly water vunerable plants, then mulch to keep moisture at the roots.

Top up fishponds etc as water evaporates. Keep pumps in good condition.

Work with the hot weather and hoe regularly.
