What should I do in my garden in July?
- Prune roses, summer fruit trees and summer-flowering deciduous shrubs.
- Turn pink-flowering hydrangeas blue by adding blueing powder to the soil around them.
- Fertilise cymbidium orchids.
- Divide achillea, coreopsis, hellebores, heuchera, penstemons and chyrysanthemums.
- Brighten up drab corners with flowering pansies, primulas, polyanthus and (in warmer parts) poinsettias.
- For a plant with multiple hues, add Heuchera to your garden, or if want that wow factor then the flowering Iresine is sure to stand out.
- After something tough yet striking? You can't go wrong with purple heart which makes for a stunning groundcover.
- Sweeten up fallow vegie beds with a handful of lime, available from garden centres.
- Treat wattles to a shaping trim once flowering has finished.
- Plant bare-root roses into soil that drains well, receives at least six hours of sun daily and has compost dug into it.
- Lightly prune fruit trees and spray with horticultural oil to prevent scale.
- Tackle those weeds that zero in on your lawn's bare patches.
- Cut back watering of indoor plants.
