July Garden Tasks

[ysabetwordsmith]

July wildlife gardening tasks feature the height of summer. Keep on top of harvesting and weeding so they don't get away from you. Some flowers need deadheading, most wildflowers don't. Make sure wildlife has shade from the hot summer sun. Keep birdbaths or other watering stations full. Right now, honeybees have taken over my small metal birdbath, which is fine. Take care when working outdoors as many species of birds and other creatures are nesting. Avoid mowing fields until late July or early August. Birdwatching is good during summer, because once you find a nest it typically maintains activity for weeks. If you have birdhouses for particular species (like bluebirds) then keep a sharp eye for invasive species (like European house sparrows) so you can jettison unwanted nests as soon as possible. It's stupid fledgling season! I've seen a couple of young robins.
