Dan’s July gardening jobs
Start planting everything out that’s going out and aim for the end of the month to be enjoying watering your crops in the sun (wishful thinking maybe I know)
Attack of the weeds! The enemy is fast approaching and needs to be kept at bay. My golden rule is don’t walk past a weed and remember there’s no such thing as tomorrow. It’s a lot easier and pleasant to keep on top of the weeds a little at a time.
It is your last chance for sowing peas and any other seeds you want to put in and a good way of prolonging your harvest by planting some more out now!
Julys motto is:
“Early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and fertilise”!
