Snip and tuck
Now is the time to get a ceanothus cutting. They should be 4-6in long, comprise this year’s growth, and be hard at the base with a softer tip. Push them into a pot of gritty compost, cover with a plastic bag and keep in the greenhouse.
Split and save
Bearded irises don’t like to be crowded. Every two or three years at this time of summer lift them and split them and give each its own space (about 30cm apart). Cut the leaves down by half first so they don’t lose too much hydration.
Lawn and order
If you are planning a new lawn, autumn is the time to sow or lay it, but it is a good idea to weed, dig over and rake the ground now so that the ground has time to settle pre-laying. Hoe off the resulting flush of weeds.
