This is often one of the hottest months of the year and a great time to sit out and enjoy your garden. Keep plants looking good by regularly deadheading, and you'll enjoy a longer display of blooms. Make sure you keep new plants watered, using grey water where possible.


  1 Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering

  2 Care for houseplants while on holiday

  3 Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise

  4 Check clematis for signs of clematis wilt

  5 Pick courgettes before they become marrows

  6 Start picking tomatoes as they ripen, continuing to remove sideshoots and feed and water the plants

  7  Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds, and keep them topped up

  8  Deadhead, feed and water for a long-lasting show. Put a saucer under containers to reduce watering

  9  Don't worry if your lawn goes brown, as it will soon bounce back when we have rain

 10 Harvest apricots, peaches and nectarines
