Bedding, climbing and container plants
08/01/2012
Bedding Plants Keep your bedding plants healthy by deadheading, watering daily, and feeding with a good quality fertiliser. Pick flowers regularly to encourage more blooms.

Climbing plants Encourage the spread of your Clematis by layering (it has a better success rate than taking cuttings).

Prune Wisteria to improve growth.
Stake and tie up any plants that are starting to droop.
Water and feed sweet peas.

Containers

During the hot weather, water pots and hanging baskets at least once a day and remove any dead flower heads. Also use a feed once a week to keep everything looking great.
Hot topics
August
Traditionally the hottest month of the year so keep your eye on your greenhouse. Open the vents regularly to allow some fresh air in and the humidity out. Also watch out for the build up of bugs.
