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

Gardening tip of the month
With the risk of frosts looming, take these steps to protect your plants…
A great way of conserving water is to connect water butts to your drainpipes on your home, shed and greenhouse. There are many styles and sizes available.
Water early in the morning or evening to save water, because watering during hot weather can lead to it evaporating before the plants can access it.
Lock in moisture by adding a layer of mulch like or bark chips. This will also help insulation and to suppress weeds.
When you’re away, leave houseplants in the bath on top of a wet bath towel. The plants can slowly soak up the moisture without being sat in stagnant water.
