8:33
sunny or partially shaded spot and well
8:35
drained soil varieties like lot Ness and

8:41
the canes about 1.5 M apart and support

9:03
the plants around 1.2 M apart and mulch
9:07

weed then you've got your currents you
9:14
can grow all your Curr plant all your
9:16
currents at this time of year as well
9:19
apples apple trees can be planted as
9:21
container grown trees in July same goes
9:24
for pears plums cherries peaches
9:28
apricots
9:29
they can all be planted in this time of
9:33
year but obviously if you're planting
9:34
them at this time of year make sure they
9:36
kept well watered as they will need a
9:39
lot of water to get established at this
9:40
time of year I tend to plant all my
9:42
fruit trees during the winter periods as
9:45
that is a dormant month and they seem to
9:47
establish a lot
9:49
better Great Vines can be planted as
9:52
container grown plants in July choose a
9:54
sunny sheltered location with well-
9:56
drained soil varieties like
9:59
and P Mo are excellent choices dig a
10:02
hole large enough for the roots and
10:04
provide trellis or support system for
10:07
the vines water well and mulch around
10:09
the base to retain the moisture so that
10:12
is everything that you can plant in the
10:14
fruit Garden during July so you can
10:18
pretty much plant anything for fruit
10:20
varieties during July just make sure you
10:22
give them lots and lots of water to get
10:24
established as it is obviously a hot
10:27
time of the year well it should be in
10:29
here we've not had that this
10:31
[Laughter]
10:32
year what flowers can you plant in July
10:36
now you need your flowers in your garden
10:38
to attract the bees to help with
10:39
pollination of all your vegetables and

10:46
encourage the bees down there sunflowers
