Some of the gardening jobs for July that we can help you with -
Weeding borders. Try not to let weeds smother your plants and set seed.
Cutting back and deadheading faded perennial plants to keep borders tidy and encourage further flowers. Penstemons will continue to flower if stems bearing faded flowers are cut back to just above a bud. Hardy geraniums can be cut back after the first flush of flowers to encourage new growth and further blooms.
Pruning Wisteria- now is the time to do it.
If there is a prolonged dry spell lawn mower blades should be set higher to keep the grass greener. Cutting lawn edges around borders keeps everything looking neat.
We do regular garden maintenance and one off tidy-ups. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

I noticed that some roses were being eaten and it wasn't too difficult to spot one of the culprits! The larvae of the Rose Sawfly. They are easy to pick off by hand if you don't want to use a pesticide.
