Iain’s Top Tips:

● When growing apples, remove all the fruit from around half of the spurs in a process called thinning. This will ensure the remaining fruit is larger and healthier. ● In your veg garden, grow the poached egg plant (Limnanthes douglasii) as it is great for attracting bees and beneficial insects like hoverflies and ladybirds. ● In order to make an impact with plants, large groups of fewer types of plants can often be more striking than many different types of plants in smaller groups. ● Allow areas in the garden for long grass. Wildlife will love it, especially bees. ● Be patient! Gardening is a slow process and it often takes time to get the results you want
