GARDENING IN WALES

Gold Affiliates Wanted!

                         July: Tasks For Week Four.

Plant Madonna Lilies: Lilium candidum should be sown now. They produce a lot of new growth in the late summer and this should not be missed. Plant in only 50mm of soil, 200mm apart, in a sunny, reasonably good, but not recently manured, position

Plant Colchicums, Autumn Crocuses etc; crocuses should be planted 75mm deep and 75mm apart; the others 150mm deep and 100mm apart in a well-drained, rather sheltered, but sunny position.

Lift Daffodils and Bulbous Irises: if you need the space, otherwise leave them in for another year, as they do not benefit from lifting, as do tulips and hyacinths. If you do lift, re-plant before the end of September.

Cut Back Helianthemums.

Start to Feed Chrysanthemums.

Sow Parsley for Autumn and Winter Use.

Enjoy your garden!
