Weekend tasks
If you’re planning to get out on the plot, then here are a few simple jobs you can be getting on with…

Keep an eye on your veggies and those pests
With harvesting season now in full swing, you do need to keep an eye on all your crops in your beds, plots, tubs, containers and growbags.
Tips to keep summer tubs and baskets looking good all summer long
It is essential to keep your hanging baskets and tubs well watered at all times, providing a gallon a day per basket. If you are unsure whether your basket or tub needs water, stick a finger into the compost as far down as possible and check for moisture. You will then be able to tell if the basket/tub is dry, damp or wet and assess the water requirements for the day.
