July

Check clematis for signs of clematis wilt.

Place conservatory plants outside now that it is warm.

Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise.

Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering.

Pick courgettes before they become marrows.

Treat apple scab.

Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds, and keep them topped up.

Give the lawn a quick-acting summer feed, especially if not given a spring feed.

Give woodwork a lick of paint or preserver, while the weather is dry.
