Carry on watering your plants and flowers
Keep on top of weeding and cutting the grass
Tomatoes will be reaching their peak so continue to harvest throughout this month
Continue to deadhead and prune to keep your garden looking in tip top condition
Trimming or cutting back your hedges will also help your garden look smart and refreshed
August is a good time to take cuttings as the wood is likely to root quite quickly
You can start to sow autumn-harvest salad crops such as rocket, land cress and winter lettuce
Continue to harvest soft fruits such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and apricots
Vegetables should still be in abundance too - with the likes of root veggies such as potatoes, beetroot and carrots, along with courgettes, peas and a variety of beans
If you’re looking for autumn-flowering bulbs, think about planting cyclamen and crocus early this month to give you quick-flowering blooms
Strawberry plants will start to produce runners, allowing you to take advantage of claiming new plants by popping these runners in a separate pot or area of earth, ready to cut free from the mother plant when it has fully taken root in its new home
Be careful not to overwater your tomatoes. Overwatering can cause the fruits to split.
