Monty's gardening jobs for July
27.06.2023 - 18:41 / gardenersworld.com
With high summer upon us and the weather heating up, fruit and vegetable plots are overflowing with ripening crops, and many plants will need regular watering during dry periods. July is a good time to cut back perennials that have finished flowering, such as Euphorbia characias subsp. wulfenii and Geranium phaeum, and add more plants to fill any gaps. Biennials can be sown this month and autumn-flowering bulbs planted in borders and containers. Keeping on top of deadheading helps displays to stay looking fresh and encourages more flowers.
Monty shares advice on jobs to do in the garden in July, in this collection of clips from BBC Gardeners’ World, including tips on looking after container veg, potting up fuchsias and adding agastache and gaura to the borders.
Cutting back the spring gardenThe spring garden has now finished flowering, so Monty cuts back vigorous plants like Geranium phaeum and cow parsley, while taking care not to damage other plants, such as hellebores and tiarella, beneath the taller foliage. This leaves space to add more plants to the borders later in the summer.

Allotment jobs for May
It’s May. The month us gardeners seem to pin our hope’s on. The last frosts (for me anyway) the warmer temperature. The sunny days and the promise of more to come. It’s also my birthday month and so as I grow another year older, I will forget the numbers and embrace the green shoots and early radishes instead.
