In the Vegetable Garden • Plant second cropping potatoes now to give you new potatoes for Christmas. Plant your Christmas potatoes in pots or bags which can be brought under cover before the first frosts.

• Pepper plants will benefit from being potted on into progressively larger pots.

Gardening Section

Tips & Tasks for your Garden this July In the Flower Garden

• Train cucumber stems upwards instead of trailing over the ground, to make the most of the space available. Simply tie in their long stems to vertical wires or a wigwam of poles.

• If you’re growing aubergines pinch out the growing tip once they have 5 or 6 fruits. Pick fruits while they are young. You can expect to start harvesting in mid to late summer.

• Nip off the growing tips of squash and courgette to encourage branching.

• Pinch out tomato side shoots each week. Cut off any leaves growing below the lowest ripening fruit trusses to improve air circulation and prevent diseases.

• Feed crops with a general purpose fertiliser.

Most importantly though enjoy your garden in what is hopefully a summer full of sun!

• Cut back faded perennial plants to keep borders tidy.

• As your Penstemon flowers fade, cut them back to just above a bud to encourage more flowers.

• Cutting back growth in hanging baskets can encourage new flowers and foliage and will revive the display. Make sure you that feed your baskets well after doing this.

EMERGENCY

SERVICE

• Cut back hardy Geraniums and Delphiniums after the first flush of flowers to encourage new growth and further blooms.

Based in Rayleigh

• Continue to tie in and train new growth on climbing plants.

• Prune Wisteria now. Just remove the whippy side-shoots from the main branch framework to about 20cm from their base (about five leaves from the main stem).

• Prune lupins to encourage further flowers.

• If you need to prune your deciduous Magnolia, now is the best time to do it.

• Divide clumps of Bearded Iris now so they have time to form roots and flowers buds for next year before the cold weather arrives.

• Take cuttings from your favourite tender plants for over-wintering indoors. Cuttings can also still be taken from shrubs and herbaceous perennials.
