DON’T FORGET

Immerse new pond plants and lift and divide old ones.

Mow paths through long grass six weeks after naturalised bulbs have finished flowering.

Clip back new growth on yews to keep hedges and topiary neat.

Plant tender annuals such as tithonias and zinnias outdoors from the middle of the month.

Continue pinching out the tips of young annuals to make them bushier.

Make sure pea sticks are ready for climbing veg.
