Mid-Summer
- Lift and divide spring-flowering bulbs for a more impressive show next year.
- Scoop out any excess pondweed and algae from your pond.
- Cut down part of the nettle patch to encourage the growth of fresh young leaves for caterpillars to feed on.
- Give the spring-flowering meadow its first cut.
- Sow seeds of biennial plants such as foxgloves.
- Plant up walls and rock banks with plants that like free-draining soils.
Late Summer
- Plant autumn-flowering bulbs such as colchicums.
- Cut the summer-flowering meadow for the first time.
