Kitchen Garden Magazine | 274 - July 2020
Welcome to Kitchen Garden Magazine, July 2020.
As I write this we are still well and truly locked down and I don't mind admitting that despite having more time than usual to keep my garden in order, I'm really missing being able to get out and
about. There is nothing like visiting lovely veg gardens and allotments and shooting the
breeze with fellow gardeners.
I miss comparing notes on what we are growing, how various crops are doing and complaining about
the weather!
That's where our monthly features from other readers' plots can help. They keep us in touch with like-minded people and remind us that we are part of the bigger gardening community and sharing the same highs and lows.
Thankfully the internet age does allow us to have occasional chinwags over Skype, Zoom and the like and situations like this are surely what social media was made for. Kitchen Garden too is here for those of you who might be feeling a little disconnected at the moment (see panel, left) and we hope you are enjoying the bonus of regular free seeds; so many of you have told us that you wouldn't have known what to do without them this year.
Lots of you reading this may be starting out on a veg growing adventure for the first time, encouraged by erratic supplies and concerns about social distancing in the shops. So we have lots for those taking the first tentative steps. On page 46 KG's staff writer Tony Flanagan offers his advice to novices and of course our jobs pages in the front of the issue are a great prompt for those tasks that need to be done now. We have growing guides for pak choi, swedes and pumpkins and some great advice from gardening expert Rob Smith on keeping your crops pest free the organic way.
