Growing Guides

UCHIKI KURI

An onion-shaped squash with orange skin and flesh with a good flavour. Early to mature and a very good keeping variety.
ST GEORGE

A winner of the prestigious RHS AGM, the bicolour flowers make it ornamental enough for the flower garden. The crisp, tender, fleshy, tasty pods are produced in clusters for quick, easy picking.
FOREMOST

An old favourite, introduced over fifty years ago. The round, white-fleshed tubers are firm and waxy when young and retain their fine taste. New, boil, steam or saute.
AILSA CRAIG

(Indeterminate) A popular cordon variety that is reliable, with medium-sized fruits of fine shape and flavour. Ideal for greenhouse and outdoor growing.

There should be plenty to harvest this month; beans, peas, cabbages, lettuces, tomatoes...
Weed and water regularly in dry weather, particularly plants in pots or grow bags.
Pull up any lettuces or other crops that have bolted.
Sow oriental greens, spring cabbages, spinach, turnips and winter radish.
