  • Brussels sprouts
  • cabbage
  • cauliflower
  • celery

Tips:

  •     Water, water, water – summer veges will need as much to drink as possible, especially if it’s hot and dry.
  •     Use netting on fruit trees to prevent birds from getting your crop before you do.
  •    Feed citrus trees with citrus fertiliser now.
  •     Feed fruit trees with liquid fertiliser to give them an extra boost.
