Gardening Jobs in July 2016 by Judith Halford

Enjoy the winter fragrance of daphne and winter sweet. Plants available now.
Plant new strawberry plants now, in hanging baskets, troughs or even in the flower garden.
Plant garlic cloves. Put them in the ground [about 5cm under the surface] with the pointed tips poking upwards. Important to keep water up to them in spring.
Sharpen, clean, oil, repair and replace worn out or broken tools. Clean out your garden shed before spring.
Complete pruning of trees, bushes and vines as soon as possible.
Plant new fruit trees…plums, peaches, apples and pears etc.
Plant new roses and begin pruning towards the end of the month.
You can still plant a flowering polyanthus or two in any drap pots or corners and they will continue too flower until it is really hot again.
