Colin Evans gardening tips
Citrus fruits are now very popular and o my mind MEYER'S CITRUS LEMON is the best variety to go for if you want an easy to grow type. This small tree with masses of sweet smelling blooms in the late spring followed by large bright yellow fruits will add colour and fragrance to a well ventilated conservatory of garden room. Plants should be placed outside during the summer months and then taken back inside for the winter. Other than a prune from time to time and a regular liquid feed during the fruiting season there is little else to do.

Harvest Courgettes when they are young as they tend to turn into something like a Marrow fairly quickly, and make sure whilst the crop is still forming each plant is well watered and fed as they hate to dry out and will not give a good crop if they are constantly searching for moisture.

Continue sowing summer Lettuce and Radish and if you like Spinach then sow the perpetual varieties which will keep you supplied until next spring.

Mulch herbaceous borders to retain moisture and continue to deadhead flowering plants to encourage new growth.
