July Gardening Tips
Just a spot of summer sunshine and everyone wants to fill the garden with family and friends for a barbecue.
Your flower border should be full of colour, although feeding and watering is vital to long-term survival.
fill in any gaps with potted bedding plants bought from the garden centre and perk up patio pots with a few fresh plants to see out the summer.
Patio pots can be moved around so that the ones in best condition are on display for your guests.
