Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

Uncle Monkeys Musings Quite a bit of what I write comes from memories stirred while
driving round the district Coming home from work these days I pass
the now empty AV Roe or British Aerospace factory on Greengate
where my father was Company Cashier from 1938-1977 It makes me
quite nostalgic my Dad always referred to it as ldquoOur placerdquo and had a
fierce loyalty to it I think back to the 2 catastrophic fires in the late
1950rsquos and early 60rsquos and the time when after the death of a colleague
he was quite prepared to come home from holiday (fortunately not
needed)
Those empty drawing offices contain Lancaster designer Roy Chadwickrsquos
ghost and those empty bays saw literally thousands of aircraft from
both civil and military
One Thursday afternoon in August 1947 Roy Chadwick called into the
Cash Office and told my Dad he wanted to design him a machine to
speed up banknote counting the following Saturday he was killed along
with seven others when an AVRO TUDOR airliner he had designed ran
off the end of the runway at Woodford and crashed into woodland He
is buried in the church yard at Woodford within sight of the airfield
Apparently when the first Vulcan flew test pilot Roly Falk flew it along
Greengate over the factory and down Hollinwood Avenue at a height
that shook down shop displays
Two uncles also worked there one in the steel stores and one as a
guillotine operatormdashsounds like the French Revolution but it chopped
steel still it was a talking point
As I come home I also pass through Middleton Junction a place I used to
go through on the 159 on my way to school One of the pubs had a
sign outside that said ldquoCome in and singrdquo someone had rubbed of the lsquogrsquo
on sing After a blameless life I often wish I had slipped into the
ldquoJunction Innrdquo and sinned

Bygone Days
This photo was taken on a summer evening in the mid 1950rsquos and
shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit
In the foreground stands my fathers lifelong friend Jim Clough
his daughters Marian and Valerie and myself

thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than

and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to

with little holes) left running for an hour or so

clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help

shows the ldquoWatch Towerrdquo at Hartshead Pike Tameside ldquoThe
Pikerdquo was a popular picnic spot in those days when few people
had cars and people flocked to the ldquoColliers Armsrdquo a pub made
originally from 2 cottages
The present towers dates back to the 19th century but is the site
of an Armada time beacon During the Queens Silver Jubilee
celebrations in 1977 a commemorative fire was lit

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or

General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals

ltodygt General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
The key to successful planting whether it be a shrub tree perennial or bedding plant is to water in well
Soak the rootball in a bucket until no air bubbles come to the surface dig the planting hole fill with water
and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

and allow to drain away Place the plant in the hole fill with soil firm gently and water well with a watering
can - this will give the plant a huge advantage over one planted with a dry rootball in a dry hole and watered
only on the surface
Hoe beds and borders to get rid of annual weeds like bitter cress and chickweed If itrsquos dry attack perennial
weeds like ground elder and the like with systemic weed killer painted onto the leaves and trail tips of
bindweed into jam jars full of the same Remember systemic weed killers are indiscriminate and will kill
anything they contact If you donrsquot have time to do this at least cut the culprits down to prevent them from
setting seed
Keep your pond topped up with fresh water - a build up of algae in warm weather can be toxic if not fatal
for animals
Pests Pests love warm weather so be on your guard Caterpillar and aphid infestations can be dealt with by hand if
caught early enough but should the situation career out of control you will have to resort to insecticides or
grin and bear it Greenfly and blackfly especially love the heat and donrsquot forget aphids and other sap-sucking
insects can transmit viruses so donrsquot give in to the sympathy vote Try and attract beneficial insects by
growing a wide variety of plants - ladybirds and their larvae are consummate aphid predators as are
lacewings and even wasps

General tasks and garden
maintenance for July Watering is essential assuming the weather stays hot and dry Water
thoroughly once or twice a week rather than little and often - this
encourages plants to put down roots in search of water rather than
coming up to the surface Remember though that containers and hanging baskets need watering every day
and sometimes even twice a day if it is hot and windy
For recently planted large shrubs or trees leave a hose trickling around the base for an hour The same goes
for established plants in very dry periods - pay particular attention to camellias rhododendrons azaleas and
hydrangeas which will abort next seasonrsquos flowers if they get too dry Mulch around the roots when moist to
help avoid this Recently planted hedges are best watered with a trickle hose (a length of old hose punctured
with little holes) left running for an hour or so
Ensure trees or shrubs planted in the last couple of years on lawns or in areas of rough grass have a circle of
clear earth around them - this must be kept clear or grass will prevent essential moisture getting through
Mulching with bark or compost will help
Water is a precious commodity - instigate good practices such as using kitchen and bath water (as long as it
is neither too dirty greasy nor full of detergent) for watering collect rainwater in butts (available from the
centre) and investigate ways to recycle water for your irrigation Avoid using tap water for lime-hating plants
such as camellias rhododendrons and azaleas - they will not thank you for it
