Grow Your Own  |  Aug-18
August is the perfect time to enjoy long, leisurely evenings on the plot with family and friends, and after a day of watering, weeding and digging, there really is nothing better than sitting back and soaking in the results of all of your hard work! To help with this we take a look at some fantastic products to help you enjoy your summer garden. There is still plenty to be done on the plot, too – Anne Swithinbank is thinking ahead and getting her spring cabbages planted this month, as well as harvesting beans and potatoes, and drying herbs. It isn’t too late to continue with your sowing, as the RHS shows, with a rundown of the top 10 best speedy veg to start now, for harvests continuing throughout the summer and autumn. David Domoney is also adding to his plot, and he shares his expert advice on getting the best from Oriental vegetables. Nick Bailey shares his fruit tree pruning tips and allotment blogger and Instagram star Katie Lane (aka Lavender & Leeks) talks us through her favourite August tasks. As well as all this, Simon Akeroyd is building a tool rack to keep your shed tidy and Kim Stoddart is looking at how to minimise wasting your produce by fermenting your vegetables. Happy growing!
