Gardening Tips For July

July 8, 2014 By Mo Mariner 1 Comment

Dead heading of all flowering plants is important, as it encourages new growth and further blooms.

This includes the roses. Dead heading also keeps the plants looking neat and tidy.

Roses

Weeding is also a must, as is cutting the lawn. These two jobs should be done weekly.

Beautiful lawn and hanging baskets in Chandler’s Ford (the path is parallel to Hursley Road).

Containers and hanging baskets should be watered daily, and remember those hanging baskets are often very close to walls, which means that they don’t get much of the rainfall.

Hanging baskets will also need a general feed once a month, if you didn’t add any granules when planting them up.

Roses now require feeding with a general fertiliser to keep them in good condition.

Happy gardening everyone!

    Thanks for this post Mo. I moved into Brownhill Road last October and am blessed to have a wonderful garden – but it is going to take some serious looking after. Thankfully I love gardening so these tips have been really useful – must dust off some gardening books from the bookshelf too! x
