July Tasks

Start cutting the grass where daffodils have been left to die down.
Tidy the dead tops of daffodils from borders when weeding
Feed roses etc with a general fertiliser such as phostrogen, and continue to deadhead spent flowers.
Trim back geraniums and aubretia in the borders after flowering
Prune wisteria tendrils back to 5 buds.
Top up fishponds etc as water evaporates. Keep pumps in good condition.
Start collecting seed when the weather is dry.
It will soon be time to take softwood cuttings of plants such as hebes, fuchsia, salvia and penstemon.
Hot weather is a great opportunity for getting out that hoe.
