If the weather allows here are some jobs for the vegetable garden:-
Remove runners from Strawberry plants this helps to put the plants energy into producing fruit!
Earth up first early potatoes.
Keep on top of weeding – if you have seedlings growing the best way to get between the rows is with a hoe.
Seeds to direct sow outside now include – Beetroot, peas, cabbage, carrots, french beans, lettuces, radish, runner beans.
Seeds to sow under cover include – Cucumber, Courgettes, Basil, Chives, Peppers, Chillies, pumpkins, squashes and Sweetcorn.
Put up supports for broad beans, climbing beans and peas.
Harvest – Rhubarb, asparagus, radish, purple sprouting.
If the weather is rubbish why not nip outside pick some Rhubarb and make some lovely Rhubarb Vodka or Rhubarb Compote !
