Dear Ms Awkard,

I rang Charlie Dimmock, nice chap but those hormonal tablets have played hell with his chest, and he said, these are indeed the tips for July.

 

Not all new plants are spring planters and whist you are quite correct to much them then, now is the time to much new plantings and existing stock.

 

As for lawn cutting, I wish I could reduce my cutting but, heat wave not withstanding, I have to cut mine at least twice a week. It may be your proximity to the sea and resulting salt may reduce the need to cut so often, lucky you !

 

Your last point about feeding is correct but with the current Summer we are having I would suggest a liquid feed or a good watering late a night followed by a dry feed early next morning and gentle watering that evening would be just the tonic a dry lawn needs.

 

Finally you ain't awkward at all Deep, it's nice to see someone actually reads this stuff
