Water! It's been a very hot and dry summer and your garden needs a bit of support. Soils can dry out to the point where they begin to repel water so it's best to keep an eye on the moisture levels in your garden and water when it's particularly hot and/or windy - even if you have irrigation!
It's also time to prune any summer-flowering plants and trim hedges back into shape. Remove any damaged or dead branches, water shoots and suckers.
