August
August is often one of the hottest months of the year, with low rainfall. Saying that our July so far has been unseasonably wet and windy with cooler temperatures so who knows what August will bring. Keep an eye on watering, and don’t forget plants in pots that have no access to water unless we intervene with the watering can and also run out of nutrients.
Its a good month for a garden tidy up, dead heading to prolong flowering, cutting back some of the earlier flower perennials, you often get a second flush from doing this especially here on Hayling, and finish sowing your biennials. Don’t forget you can pick up a selection of biennials, vegetables and hardy annuals for sowing now from our Trading Centre.
