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. |
