Grow Your Own | Aug-17
August on the plot is a delightful month – harvests are coming in thick and fast, and we are enjoying bountiful fruit and vegetable crops. But how do we keep these crops coming? We share our guide to extending the season (p.66) so you can reap the rewards of delicious fruit and veg for even longer. At the opposite end of the growing cycle, we are still getting some last-minute sowings done, and Anne Swithinbank is showing us her preferred techniques for August sowings of spinach (p.19). As well as this, David Domoney is sharing his seed to plate advice for growing your best ever spring greens (p.32), Kim Stoddart is showing us how to create a beautiful and productive herb rockery (p.90), and we take a step-by-step look at planting up hanging baskets with strawberries, suitable for any growing space (p.34).
