Your garden in August
After the heat of July, the weather usually continues to be very nice giving us time to simply enjoy our gardens and all the hard work we’ve put into them. Don’t worry to much about doing endless jobs – just remember to keep everything watered. If you are going away, you may need to enlist the help of friends and family to look after the garden. If you are at home and feeling energetic, there are still a few gardening tasks for August that will keep your gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year’s garden plans.
The essential gardening jobs for A ugust Take herb cutting
August is the ideal month to take cutting woody herbs such as Rosemary and Lavender. To do this, simply take new growth that hasn’t flowered this year cut a piece 10cm long just below a leaf joint, remove the lower leaves and dip the end in a rooting hormone before planting in a gritty compost. If you have lavender in the garden, now is also the ideal time to give it a trim. This will encourage new bushy growth in the spring and will prevent it becoming bare and woody.
Pruning and tidying
Most long flowering perennials will finish flowering this month so cut them down to the ground. Don’t forget about them though – continue to water them, as this will encourage a second flush of foliage and generally prevent the garden looking frazzled and messy. Although weeds will be growing more slowly now than in the spring it’s a good idea to continue to hoe the soil to keep them down.
6
Try to do this in warm, dry conditions to ensure weed seedlings you disturb are left on the surface to dehydrate and die.
Make plans for next year
A nice relaxing job for those hot days! Pull up a chair in a sunny spot and start planning for next year. Make sketches of your flower borders and vegetable plot and list what you want to plant. Take photos of your garden now while it is looking its best – if you want to rearrange in the winter its much easier to do if you have a reference point. Also think about what bulbs you want to plant for that early display of spring colour – bulbs are usually available to buy from the end of August ready for autumn planting.
Enjoy your garden!
Looking good this month….
Hydrangea
Why should you plant them? Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue. They are easy to care for, fully hardy and have an old fashioned, cottage style charm. How should you plant them? Hydrangeas like moist, free draining soil and a partially shaded sheltered spot.

Celtic Tree Zodiac
What Does Your Tree Zodiac Sign Reveal About You? January, Tree Rowan You may be feeling restless, a short break or an activity that involves being active may help.

February. Tree Ash You may have been doing some study for research, or you may have had some incident that has given you a new outlook on something.

So your baby has been with you 24/7 for the past two years and you are both about to embark on another of life’s milestones, as you prepare to enrol your child into pre-school. Will they cope without me? Will they mix with other children? Will they like it? What am I going to do? Can I trust the preschool with the most precious person in my life?. The answer is yes! The LA childcare preschools, Little Acers and Little Acorns have been going for 21 years. During this time we have cared for, nurtured and helped educate thousands of children, all completely different and unique. We believe children should love being at preschool, a place where they feel safe, can make friends, be able to express themselves and most importantly have fun. Together we can provide the best start to your child’s education.
• Pack a bag with spare clothes - They are going to get dirty and maybe have the odd toilet accident. • Drinks bottle – Milk and water is provided but in our experience children prefer a drink bottle that they move around with. • Appropriate clothing – coat, wellies, sun hat, sun cream and most definitely put them in old clothing. They are going to get messy! • Talk to your child’s keyperson – this is the person who is going to bond with your child the most, they will be more than happy to discuss any concerns you might have. • Prepare yourself that your child may get upset – this is perfectly normal. Our settings are more than happy to go at your child’s pace. If this means only doing half an hour and building up, that’s fine by us. • Prepare yourself that you may get upset, maybe more than your child. – pack tissues in your pocket for that walk back to the car. Then get home and console yourself with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Here are some tips to help prepare for your first day at our preschools –

August is set to be one of the biggest month’s yet for blockbuster Summer releases at your local Cineworld. It’s so block-busting, in fact, that we’re counting down the top five releases ready to ‘wow’ and excite you when settling into your cinema seat. Without further ado, here are the core silver screen hits to look forward to:
The top 5 movies for August
5. The Darkest Minds (Aug 10th) Ideal for anyone who prefers their superhero films to be more angsty, The Darkest Minds sees a group of teens come to terms with their amazing abilities, years after a deadly plague has killed almost every American child.
4. Christopher Robin (Aug 17th) Ewan McGregor steps into the eponymous role, which follows Christopher Robin during his adult years. He’s down on his luck with no end in sight - that is, until Pooh and friends re-enter his life in a big way.
3. The Meg (Aug 10th) If you’d ever wondered who’d win between the hard-edged Jason Statham and a megalodon shark, The Meg is the sort of campy summer spectacular you’ve been waiting for. The shark is ready to open wide, and Statham is people’s only hope.
2. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (Aug 3rd) Not content with dominating the small screen, Robin, Cyborg, and the rest of the team step things up for their cinema debut in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies. They discover that all other superheroes have their own movie, so why shouldn’t they?
1.Ant Man & The Wasp (Aug 2nd) Hot off the heels of this year’s Avengers Infinity War, it’s high time we find out what Marvel’s little guy was up to during his absence. Lucky for Scott, he’s got a capable bug hero to help him, as Ant Man & The Wasp takes to the skies and screen. The fun doesn’t stop there as Cineworld Yate and Direct Local Magazine are teaming up once again to give readers a chance to win movie tickets. Simply complete the word search on page 12. There’s so much to see at the cinema this August. Your only issue will be trying to fit them all in.
