The weather might not be very summer-y, but that's no reason not to be out tending to your garden

With all this rain, you're probably finding it hard to believe that we're already halfway through a traditional British summer. However, your garden's still going to need some attention, so here's our top tips for this month.

Essential things to do in July

Dead-head your plants to keep them blooming - very therapeutic!
Hoe off weeds - they love the sunshine
Give conservatory plants a summer holiday by putting them outside while it's warm
If your lawn is looking tired give it a sprinkling of a quick-acting summer feed
Got a pond? Clear any algae that may have started forming. It can spread very quickly if not sorted.
Ventilate the greenhouse - it can get tooooo hot!
Turnover the compost. The heat provides the perfect environment for making compost so keep it moving.
Think of the birds. They'd love a drink as well!
Keep on top of the pests. Be vigilant for all those little nasties.
Remember the holidays - who's going to water your plants while you're away?
