July: Summer is in full swing

As we step further into summer, we have a season of sun ahead of us. With the bright mornings and light evenings, we can spend so much time in the garden, planting, pottering about and enjoying our space.

For blooms that are bursting to life this month find out my top ten plants for July. Whilst our gardens are full of flowers, foliage, fruit and veg, they can also be home to pests and diseases. So keep an eye out and use this handy guide to spot any pests and how to keep control.

Thanks to everyone that joined me on my latest Facebook Live with Evergreen Garden Care where I gave my tips on picking the best plants at garden centres and tips on mulching in the garden.

You can catch my next Facebook Live on Friday 16th July at 4pm, supported by Hartman, where I’ll be sharing hints and tips for Summer Living and how to enjoy your garden this season. Then, for tips on seasonal gardening to make your garden ship-shape all year round, tune into my next Facebook Live with Yard Force at 4pm on Wednesday 21st July.

Until then, here are some vegetables that you can re-grow at home from leftovers!

Happy gardening!
