Dear subscriber

Summertime – and the

We love...

We love July

July is sometimes a quiet month in our gardens – the hustle and bustle of early summer is over, and we are settling into a gentle jog through the next few weeks. There are lots of plants doing their thing, but we need to plan and make sure there are spaces for fizzy annuals, late perennials and (of course) the first of the dahlias. The good thing is that if we have a gap then that is a shopping opportunity, and that is something that few gardeners can resist! Plant fairs, nurseries and flower shows: watch out, we are coming for you!

Wildlife

Your wildlife month

July is a meeting of the seasons. There are lush borders bursting with life, baby blackbirds on the lawn by day and the patter of little hedgehog feet at night. Lift a leaf or a log and you may find tiny frogs and toads sheltering beneath them. At the same time, dragonflies and damselflies are just starting to lay eggs in the pond, grasshoppers are wooing mates in the long grass and, in the compost heap, slow worms are getting ready to ‘give birth’. It’s hard to believe, but with all the babies and the egg-laying, some queen bumblebees will already be entering hibernation. Enjoy these precious final moments of summer, because autumn is being whispered on the wind
