Now is the time when you will start to see the reward from all your hard work. Many crops will be ready to harvest this month. With most crops it is important to pick little and often - this will keep the plants productive.
More jobs to do
Watering: Keep crops well watered, especially any grown in containers.
Hoeing: Continue to hoe off weeds in dry weather. Done in wet weather, the weeds are liable to re-root.
Stop cordon tomatoes: Cut off the main growing stem at a leaf above the fourth truss of tomatoes. This should ensure that all the fruits ripen by the end of the season.
Support apple trees: Protect heavily-laden branches against snapping under the weight of the ripening crop. Use a stake or prop to keep them upright.
Prune cherries: Immediately after harvest, prune cherries.
