HARVEST & PLANT NOW

-

Zucchini, beans, peas, radishes and lettuce are now in full swing. Pick daily to keep those crops coming on. It’s not too late to put in a late crop of dwarf corn. Plant in blocks, rather than long rows, to aid pollinatio­n. It’s not too late to plant tomatoes either. Most garden centres are still selling large-grade plants, often already in flower, so you can pot them up in large containers or simply plant them in the sunniest corner of your garden.
