Tips and Tricks for Gardeners from Roddy Llewellyn

Sow EVERLASTING SPINACH, a wonderful crop that can even be harvested during the winter if conditions are mild.
Tie in shoots on climbing ROSES while they are soft and supple.
Continue to dead-head ANNUALS in order to prolong their flowering season.
In hot weather water can be poured over the GREENHOUSE floor to increase humidity and to deter spider mite.
Keep the base of YOUNG HEDGES weed free to prevent die-back through lack of light.
Cut back DELPHINIUMS once they have finished flowering and give them a generous ‘thank you’ liquid feed.
Water all PLANTS GROWING IN CONTAINERS every day, even if it rains.
NERINE BOWDENII LILIES grown outside like to be baked in the sun but will also appreciate a water during dry spells to improve their October/November display of ice cream-pink flowers.
Compacted areas of LAWN can be aerated by stabbing the turf at regular intervals.
As you continue to dead-head, keep one or two seed capsules of ripe seed for your own use.
