Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.
Terry explains why even the bolthardy vegetables are running to seed, and how to manage your rhubarb as the season goes on.
Jobs for the week include planting strawberry runners to make a new generation of plants and the benefits of feeding nitrogen rich chicken pellets to leeks and sweetcorn in order to try and encourage some height into the plants.
