Seven Jobs for Seven Days
1. Keep a close watch on the weather forecast, so that you can protect any tender plants from frost with a layer of fleece.
2. Get potting up those self-sown seedlings around many of our plants such as Hellebores to grow them on, before planting them out in the autumn.
3. Continue to deal with moss, rake and repair the lawns to get them looking their very best for the summer days that will be here soon.
4. Put in the last sowings of Sweet Peas, which must be one of our favourite summer flowers.
5. Continue to sow and plant in the vegetable garden, sowing carrots (the ones sown from now on will need carrot fly protection – we will be telling you how to do this in due course!) Kohl Rabi, Florence Fennel and winter Brassicas.
6. In the fruit garden, feed the blackberries and blackcurrants with a balanced feed to help them make strong new growth.
7. Divide up herbs like chives, making sure we give them a really good watering when we replant them.
