HOW TO SAVE PARCHED PLANTS?

にもかかわらず any 最近の 降雨, 工場／植物s are still 攻撃を受けやすい. Those 工場／植物d in the past few weeks or earlier this year will need particular attention.

Young trees or shrubs, even if they were 工場／植物d last autumn, could be 苦しむing from 厳しい root 損失.?

You can save such 工場／植物s by giving them a 徹底的な soak. If hosepipes are not banned in your area, soak the ground surrounding each young 工場／植物.

Nigel Colborn says young trees or shrubs, even if they were 工場／植物d last autumn, could be 苦しむing from 厳しい root 損失

Don't just 目的（とする） at the base of the trunk. 許す water to soak 深く，強烈に into the ground below the 支店s, known as the 'drip line', of the young tree or shrub.

Watering 攻撃を受けやすい 工場／植物s 完全に will keep them 安全な for longer. Moisture will b e 回復するd 深い 負かす／撃墜する 同様に as 近づく the surface.

Saved rainwater, or 'grey' water from a bath or the kitchen, is 承認する to use on such 工場／植物s.

When watering herbaceous 工場／植物s, favour those which have yet to flower to keep them growing. 工場／植物s which have finished flowering should 生き残る with いっそう少なく watering. But don't let 価値のある perennials die at the roots.

If you're still 許すd to use a sprinkler for irrigation, 始める，決める it running only in the evening or 早期に morning.

激しい, baked, or 割れ目ing 国／地域s are difficult to 扱う／治療する. Water from an irrigator would run through the 割れ目s to the subsoil.

Water 攻撃を受けやすい 工場／植物s with a 手渡す-held 靴下／だます rather than a sprinkler.

TRIM YOUR LAVENDER

Nigel advises to 削減する lavenders now to develop fresh foliage and a light 刈る of later flowers. The garden 専門家 says these 'toughies' have been splendid this year

Lavenders have been splendid this year. In spite of heat and 干ばつ, these Mediterranean toughies are still 栄えるing. 削減する now to develop fresh foliage and a light 刈る of later flowers. Just 得る，とらえる a bunch of spent flowers in one 手渡す, 持つ／拘留するing secateurs in the other. 切断する 茎・取り除くs a little below the highest leaves. These その上の flowers, though more sparse than the first 紅潮／摘発する, will be 価値のある for bees and all pollinating insects

PRUNE TO PRETTIFY

によれば Nigel, with extraneous growth 除去するd, the winter blossoms will show up more 効果的に and look prettier

Japanese quince, Chaenomeles, if trained on a 塀で囲む, will b enefit from summer pruning. Freestanding 工場／植物s which have over-grown could also 利益. Summer pruning 増加するs flower numbers. With extraneous growth 除去するd, the winter blossoms will show up more 効果的に and look prettier. In this season, 円熟した 工場／植物s will have thrown long shoots. 縮める all those, other than any you want to train.?

QUESTION?

When and how should I take cuttings from my pelargonium?

Mrs. B. Jackson, Cumbria.

Take cuttings between June and October from outside 工場／植物s.

They should be young shoots, 概略で 8cm long with plump 茎・取り除くs and a 終点 bud. Before you 除去する a shoot, 確実にする the 工場／植物 is 解放する／自由な of 病気 or pests. First, fill a small flowerpot with potting compost. Then 除去する a shoot from the 寄贈者 工場／植物, making a clean 削減（する） across the 茎・取り除く.

除去する the lowest leaf or two and gently 押し進める the 茎・取り除く into the compost. Leave the マリファナ on a 井戸／弁護士席-lit windowsill and keep it moist but not over-watered.

Roots will develop in a few weeks. You'll know they have developed when?the 工場／植物 begins to grow.

Nerium oleander Little Red is a compact shrub. It carries large 刈るs of vivid pink flowers, 開始 from red buds

Here's a dream 工場／植物 for 乾燥した，日照りの summers and sweltering heat. Oleanders are Mediterranean shrubs with 狭くする, evergreen leaves and loose panicles of pink or white flowers. Most are large, gawky and barely hardy. But の中で about 30 指名するd varieties, Nerium oleander Little Red has 優れた 質s. A compact shrub, it carries large 刈るs of vivid pink flowers, 開始 from red buds.
