July 2021 gardening tips

 

As I write this, in June, my garden is about three weeks behind how it was last year.  The weather is beyond prediction for the next two months.  If it turns hot and dry, then stop mowing but keep hoeing.

Hoeing is a sure way to make it rain! – that, and cleaning the windows!

Still, the herbaceous border should be at its best – take a record of which plants need to be divided in the Autumn.

Currants, berries potatoes, onions, peas and beans should be ready for picking and storing.

When garlic leaves turn yellow, lift the bulbs and dry in a single layer in a dry place.

Sow seeds for autumn and winter salads.

This is a popular plant with bees – Echinops ritro ‘Veitch’s Blue’
