#Liveinstall winner 2013
In the Vegetable Garden • Plant second cropping potatoes now to give you new potatoes for Christmas. Plant your Christmas potatoes in pots or bags which can be brought under cover before the first frosts. • Pepper plants will benefit from being potted on into progressively larger pots.
Gardening Section
Tips & Tasks for your Garden this July In the Flower Garden • Cut back faded perennial plants to keep borders tidy. • As your Penstemon flowers fade, cut them back to just above a bud to encourage more flowers. • Cutting back growth in hanging baskets can encourage new flowers and foliage and will revive the display. Make sure you that feed your baskets well after doing this.
• Train cucumber stems upwards instead of trailing over the ground, to make the most of the space available. Simply tie in their long stems to vertical wires or a wigwam of poles. • If you’re growing aubergines pinch out the growing tip once they have 5 or 6 fruits. Pick fruits while they are young. You can expect to start harvesting in mid to late summer. • Nip off the growing tips of squash and courgette to encourage branching. • Pinch out tomato side shoots each week. Cut off any leaves growing below the lowest ripening fruit trusses to improve air circulation and prevent diseases. • Feed crops with a general purpose fertiliser. Most importantly though enjoy your garden in what is hopefully a summer full of sun!

• Cut back hardy Geraniums and Delphiniums after the first flush of flowers to encourage new growth and further blooms. • Continue to tie in and train new growth on climbing plants. • Prune Wisteria now. Just remove the whippy side-shoots from the main branch framework to about 20cm from their base (about five leaves from the main stem). • Prune lupins to encourage further flowers. • If you need to prune your deciduous Magnolia, now is the best time to do it. • Divide clumps of Bearded Iris now so they have time to form roots and flowers buds for next year before the cold weather arrives. • Take cuttings from your favourite tender plants for over-wintering indoors. Cuttings can also still be taken from shrubs and herbaceous perennials.
