The Panfield Garden Club

 Aphis fabae species group ........ Common name Blackfly!!!

I know, that on occasions gardeners like to have a moan, but this does appear to be a “good” year for Blackfly! They have very much enjoyed my broad beans, nasturtiums and dahlias!

 

Having bent my fork trying to dig my allotment, we could also do with some rain......gardeners are never satisfied!

 

During the summer, we have enjoyed visiting some garden club members gardens.  Thank you so much for your hospitality, and we look forward to visiting two more gardens in August.

 

In September, we return to our meetings in the village hall, 1st Monday of each month, 7.30-9pm, we look forward to seeing you all then!

 

We still have plenty of time to enjoy our gardens, so here are some jobs we can do for the next couple of months:

August

  • Dead head bedding plants and perennials to stop them self seeding and to encourage further flowering into the autumn
  • Cut back herbs to encourage new growth that you can harvest before the frosts
  • Harvest french and runner beans little and often to prevent them from setting seed
  • Continue to harvest second early potatoes

September

  • Plant spring flowering bulbs such as crocus
  • Prune climbing roses and rambling roses once they have finished flowering
  • Take hardwood cuttings to increase stock of currants and gooseberries.
