Tips for August

Continue to harvest young crops.

This is important if you want vegetables full of flavour.

The older they get, the coarser the taste and texture.

Harvest marrows and courgettes on a regular basis to encourage more flowers and fruits and to ensure continued cropping well into autumn.
