Rebecca and Eddy

"We cut drain holes in an old kitchen tidy bin, placed foam blocks in the bottom and are using it as a pot for cascading herbs. The foam helps drainage and it is a nice deep pot for the root system."

Grahame

"Remember to water freshly potted or transplanted seedlings. Watering ensures that pockets of air around the roots will be avoided. Roots exposed to the air will die."

Barbara

"Coffee revived my failing parsley plant. Now it is thriving."

Trish

"Thai basil can be heavily pruned. New growth appears quickly. Thai basil will grow through winter and attracts bees into the garden."

Let us know if you have a hint or tip to pass on to other gardeners.

• Weed and fertilise vegetables and pick crops regularly.
• Prepare ground for autumn seedlings by adding compost and manure.
• Keep up the watering as permitted.
• Start a compost heap.
• Lightly trim and tidy woody herbs like rosemary, thyme, sage and lavender then fertilise and water well.
• With the warming climate, fruit flies are becoming an increasing problem. Maintain baits right through summer and into autumn.
• Check all fruit trees and rake up rotting fruit on the ground. Put in your rubbish bin not your compost.
