July in the garden

Water and mow the lawn

We do not forget to care for the lawn, which is still growing intensively in summer. We have to mow it systematically once a week. Watering the lawn depends on the weather.If we use standard fertilizers, the lawn must be fed every month.

Prune after flowering

When all the inflorescences in the clump of lupine, delphiniums, cornflowers, maruas, catnip, and adjectives have faded, trim the shoots low, about 15 centimeters above the ground. Delphiniums, catnip and cornflowers will bloom again in autumn. We only remove faded inflorescences from other species, for example tawułkom, peonies, flannels. The leaves will be decorative until frost.

We care for dahlias and gladioli

Blooming gladioli should be watered regularly. In early July, they need to be supplemented with nitrogen fertilizers. Dahlias also need watering. They are fed with multi-component fertilizers. Tall varieties must be stake.It is best to use 2-3 stakes for one clump.Then the shoots will not be compressed, and the plant will grow and develop freely. The whole clump will look effective.

We fertilize roses

In the second half of the month, roses need to be fed with potassium fertilizers at a dose of 4.5 g / m2. Potassium effectively strengthens the plant's resistance to fungal diseases and frosts.In the absence of this ingredient, the shoots do not woody sufficiently and freeze more easily.

We stop fertilizing with nitrogen

In the middle of the month, we stop fertilizing plants with nitrogen so that their shoots woody well before winter. In early autumn, you can still apply special autumn fertilizers with an increased dose of potassium.

Osmetic hedge cuts

The main cutting of hedges is carried out in spring.But later, throughout the summer, every 2-3 weeks, remove those twigs that have grown too much and protrude from the green wall.This promotes thickening of the hedge and gives it an elegant appearance.

We fight the spider mite

In hot and dry weather, dangerous spider mites may appear on cinquefoil, budlei and hydrangeas. spray with preparations.
