What to do in the garden this week
Watch for your first outdoor tomatoes. If they’re growing under glass, the fruit will be ripening fast by now so pick them every day or two.
Prune soft fruit bushes and summer-fruiting raspberry canes when they finish cropping.
Make last sowings of dwarf French beans, carrots and baby beetroot using early varieties since these are the fastest to produce a usable crop.
Feed roses again. A dose of rose food after the second flush of flowers gives plants a boost that helps the next flush of blooms.
