Kitchen Garden Magazine  |  273 - June 2020
Welcome to Kitchen Garden Magazine June 2020 issue.
This is officially a coronavirus-free zone.
We can’t claim that reading KG or even growing your own veg makes you immune from the virus, but we can promise not to talk about it (much)!
Instead we will focus on the fact that the June issue marks the long-awaited start of summer and the hope that your veg plot or allotment is proving to be a haven away from the worries of the world. To help the feeling along we turn the spotlight on lots of like-minded gardeners who have found just how gardening, and growing your own in particular, can help keep us all happy and healthy.
This month for example, we welcome Annabelle Padwick, also known as blogger ‘Life at No.27’ to the team. Annabelle is a great example of how gardening can help boost your well-being and self-esteem and will be writing on this topic for us in her fascinating monthly features. We also have news of a great project instigated by young plotters in Derby, and visit some more KG readers’ plots.
If it is pure growing advice you’re after, you won’t be disappointed this month. KG regulars David Patch and Rob Smith bring you some great advice on growing mangetout peas and passion fruit while I turn the spotlight on chard and turnips, two vastly underrated crops that deserve a place on any plot.
Finally, a reminder to visit our social media pages and website for all the up-to-the-minute news and views on veg gardening.
You’ll find the KG team’s video diaries on our YouTube channel; the diaries are being updated regularly and we’d just love to chat and answer your questions via the comments section. Stay well.
