As summer rolls on, the garden reaches a vibrant and colorful peak in July. Perennials, annuals and shrubs produce masses of blooms and new foliage this month, and your garden borders will feel full and bountiful.
In July, we will typically see some of the warmest days and nights, and while there is still garden work to be done, it is a good time to stop, slow down, and admire your hard work. As a gardener myself, I find that by July, there is little digging or planting left to be done. As the mercury rises, taking your foot off the gardening pedal is sensible, allowing for a calmer month to enjoy your home-grown crops and flowers.
