Jobs for the Weekend

Deal death and destruction to aphids - squish them mercilessly between thumb and forefinger before they take over.

Prune early flowering clematis now they are over - they flower on this season's ripened stems, so get rid of the twiggy top growth and get a better, balanced shape so that the growth can be ready for a new flowering framework for next year. 

Tie in your sweet peas to their supports before they flop and become slug fodder.


Tie in other climbing plants like clematis  to their supports.


Plant out seedlings into their final flowering positions - fill your gaps!


Pot on any seedlings which have been in their existing pots for a while - let them breathe!
