The abundance of flowers, fruit, and scent makes this time of year feel rather decadent.  Make time to savour the sights and sounds of summer, and enjoy the fruits of your labour in the garden.

Prune Wisteria.  After flowering, cut back the long, whippy green shoots – the current year’s growth – to five or six leaf joints.  Pruning now will ensure your plant maintains a tidy shape, preventing the wisteria getting itself into a messy tangle, as well as encouraging flower bud formation for next year.
