“There’s simply no better place to be in Summer than in your own garden. A great mass of young foliage and flower will fill your days with colour and perfume and you’ll come in at twilight with a heart full of joy and satisfaction.” Says the late Geoff Hamilton whom sums up our feelings entirely, so we have compiled a Gardener’s Diary for you to get out and make the most of your precious time in the garden.
Vegetables
Peas and Beans should be tied in on canes and watered well in dry weather.
Salad Crops should be sown every 3 weeks to ensure leaves throughout the summer.
Potatoes planted in early march should be ready to harvest, otherwise keep building soil up around the stem (earthing up) to ensure a heavy crop and water well.
Tomatoes should be tied in to Bamboo canes and watered well.
Fertilize all crops with an organic fertiliser ( I use seaweed)
