Currently in the garden there are a variety of little jobs to be done here is a list:

 

  • Dig up Lettuce and other dying vegetables and put them in your composter, don’t forget to add compost accelerator and turn the compost regularly

  • Dig any empty areas of the garden and keep on top of the weeds

  • Apples should be nearly ready for harvesting so watch out for them and make sure that you get them before the fall

  • Fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and peaches are also nearly (if not) ready

  • Put manure in the soil to help make it fertile for the coming season

  • Pick Tomatoes, because of the good British weather they may be a little late but now ready to pick

  • Make sure that you have deadheaded all plants where the heads have died so that the nutrients go back into the plant

GARDENERS DELIGHT TOMATO

 

This very nice red tomato produces medium sized 25g fruits perfect with a salad or in sandwhiches. Very easy to grow and look after they require tomato feed at the intervals stated on the bottle (usually about every three days) to keep them producing fruit at a good rate. Once the plants reach five trusses pick out the growing tip and you will enjoy beautiful fruits into October.

 

These seeds should be sown in Februray/March if in a greenhouse or March/April if outdoors.

September is the time of the year where many vegatables start to decrease in production but when fruits start to hit there peak. This is the time for Autumn and for fruits like apples and pears to be picked so watch out for those!
