What to do in the garden for July

• Remove flower buds from spring annuals for better displays
• Rhododendrons, Azaleas & Camellias will need watering leading to blooming
• Prune Wisterias and deciduous climbers
• Prune later flowering shrubs (not spring flowerers)
• Order summer flowering bulbs – Liliums etc.
• Clean up prunings from fruit trees and mulch
• Sow Globe Artichoke and Asparagus seeds
• Clean and sharpen secateurs, loppers and saws
• Sand and oil (linseed oil) wooden handles on tools
• Turn over vegetable beds for spring plantings
• Watch for pink bud swell on early Peaches & Nectarines & spray for leaf curl with
  copper or lime sulphur
