MONTY’S JOB OF THE WEEK

FOR those in the southern half of the country, now’s the time to move or divide deciduous grasses (below); those in the north should wait a week or so. If you’re dividing a large clump, don’t divide it into many small pieces as they’ll be slow to regrow. Halve it before replanting at the same level as before and water in well. Water weekly until growing strongly. Some grasses seed themselves freely and form crowded clumps — just lift and reposition them with more space around them.
