The Water Garden

Summer

Throughout the summer, continue to clear blanketweed from ponds. Keep the water topped up and aerated - especially if the pond contains fish. Aquatic and marginal plants may be planted until mid-summer; deep-water plants until late summer.

In mid-summer, softwood cuttings of marginals and oxygenating plants may be taken for propagation. Seed may also be collected and sown under cover.
