Summer containers

Planting up a summer container is a really fun thing to do in the garden. It’s only going to be on show for a few months, so it’s worth taking risks and using colour combinations you may not have tried before. You could even create different soil conditions to those you have in your own garden.

Monty always changes the compost in his containers at this time of the year. This is really important because summer bedding plants are very greedy and will grow vigorously over the season. Providing them with fresh compost will ensure you end up with a stunning display. After about six weeks, it is also worth giving your containers a weekly liquid feed to get the very best from your plants.

This year, Monty has chosen a bright orange and red theme for his big Jewel Garden pots. Here’s a complete list of what he planted on camera:

• Canna 'Wyoming' x 1
• Dahlia 'David Howard' x 3
• Dianthus x 3
• Cosmos sulphureus 'Orange Cosmea' x 6
• Tropaeolum majus (Nasturtium) x 7

Jobs for the weekend: Remove lily beetle

At this time of year, lily beetles can wreak havoc on your lilies and fritillaries. As well as munching through the foliage, they’ll eat the petals and seed pods too. The bright red adults are easy to spot, but have a nasty habit of dropping to the ground whenever they are disturbed! Creep up on them whilst they are otherwise engaged and put a hand underneath to help catch them. If you have a lot of plants to check or simply don’t have the time to inspect them all every week, consider using an insecticide instead.

Jobs for the weekend: Deadhead roses

To keep your roses flowering for as long as possible, it’s worth deadheading them on a regular basis. But don’t just pull off the spent flowers - cut back to a side-shoot or bud to promote fresh new growth. During a wet spell, blooms can often be ruined by balling. To help overcome this, gently tease the outer petals apart and the flower will open before your eyes.

Jobs for the weekend: Net strawberries

Blackbirds have an annoying habit of eating strawberries just as they start to ripen and the best way of preventing this is to protect the crop with some netting. It doesn’t have to be a permanent structure. Posts or canes with the netting stretched over them will do the job. Make sure that the netting is pulled taut and weigh down the edges with bricks or stones.

Simple Self Improvement Tips

Personal Development Ideas

A great way to kick start your personal growth and to push yourself to new levels of achievement and finding how to be successful in life is through these simple self- improvement tips. If you are interested in personal development and growth, you have probably been searching for effective strategies to not only stimulate growth but also to ensure your growth and help you achieve results.
So after spending a great deal of time studying personal achievement, I felt it would be helpful to provide these seven self-improvement tips as a way of hopefully helping people like you achieve greater success in their life.
Daily Journaling
One thing you may find in common with many great successful people throughout history was that they were avid writer. Keeping a daily journal is a great way to clarify your thoughts and develop a sense of self-awareness that will help you reinvent yourself on a moment’s notice and develop unshakable self-confidence.
Meditation
Probably one of the most important of these simple self-improvement tips and most commonly neglected is meditation. I feel this is an important tip, to help deal with the hectic lives of today. It is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and clear the “junk thoughts” which can lead to worry and anxiety. Meditating daily can help slow your heart rate and regulate your digestion among dozens of other health benefits and as I have a said is an important self development skill.
It can also make your sleep more restful and help your body to recover faster.  Practicing meditation on a regular basis can make the other of these six tips that much more effective.

>> The “Amazing Self” Personal Development program teaches a radically unique way of understanding yourself <<

Expecting to Win
Typically those that achieve great things and are successful in life aren’t necessarily anymore intelligent or capable than the average person. In fact they can do what many considered intelligent people have a hard time doing: that is, they expect to win. Even before they know how they are going to do it
You see, it doesn’t require knowledge of how those expectations can become reality, rather they start from a foundation of bold expectancy and hence the rest is just a matter of persevering.
Writing Goals and Plans of Actions
If you want to accomplish anything, it is necessary to get into the habit of writing down clear and specific goals and plans of action. For instance you may be asking “what I want to become life”. The act of writing your goals, clarifies them and the expectation of fulfilling them begins to build in your mind. As well having written plans gives you specific tasks and actions to take each day towards the realization of your long-term goal.
Be Well Rounded
An important tip for personal development is to be holistic in nature. Either directly or indirectly, every area of your life affects every other area.  For instance your relationships can affect your health and financial life. In turn if your health is out of order it can stump your personal growth and finding the energy to achieve any goals may become difficult. So the key to achieving your goals is in becoming well rounded in all areas. This will help you build physical stamina, emotional fortitude, financial security and the social support system needed in order to achieve great things.
Positive Affirmations
You have heard of the power of positive thinking and may be wondering does positive thinking work? It is true that using positive affirmations is a powerful tool to help change your inner dialogue and can literally change your personality, your character, your actions and your. Write positive affirmations  for each of the key areas of your life (health, relationships, finances and career) then make a commitment to rehearse them aloud a couple times a day.
Teach to Learn
This can be considered the most important personal development exercises. The more you teach the principles of personal growth to others, the clearer your understanding becomes of them making them more effective in your own life. If you have no one to teach, try writing about the principles of personal development and how they are helping youhttp://www.improvingtoday.com/simple-self-improvement-tips/
