Tidy up before you go

Schools are closing, summer holidays are commencing and gardens are blooming.

However, even though the business of spring in the garden has subsided, don’t assume that all your crops are in the ground and doing well and that the time has come to sit back and enjoy the bounty.

Plants are now at the peak of their growth so harvesting, weeding, feeding, tying up and generally being there to observe their changing needs are the main jobs to hand.
