MAY GARDENING

T

he days are finally starting to warm up, it is easy to forget that the nights can still be quite cold producing sudden sharp frosts which can destroy delicate young foliage and flowers. Now is also the time to stop feeding birds with nuts (too many carbohydrates) and they have a much better chance with a balanced diet of insects and seeds.

Preparation Clear away spring bedding and prepare the ground for summer bedding i.e. weed, rake, and add organic matter to the soil There is still time to top dress your borders with a good 3” layer of compost, but make sure it is well rotted. Compost is much easier to apply before most of the plants start poking their heads through.

Propagation The best time to take cuttings for me is in late spring when there is plenty of new growth to choose from, which has a better chance of rooting than older stems.

Another advantage of taking them in spring rather than in autumn is you may have the enjoyment of looking after them during the warm days of summer.

If you have cuttings or seedlings already on the go keep them moist and on sunny days keep the vents open and make sure they don’t dry out.

Once seedlings and cuttings are big enough pot up into a bigger sized pot.

Pruning Restrain from cutting back the remaining foliage on daffs and tulips wait till there brown and dead looking Deadhead any spent blooms on early roses, irises and other early flowers, whenever the seeds are not required Prune shrubs that have any of the three D’s: Dead, damaged or diseased stems or branches. Also prune off any wayward shoots.

Planting Lift and divide primroses and polyanthus, once they have finished flowering. Replant into enriched soil.

If you have not already bought your summer bedding now is the time with the frosts all but gone.

With the soil starting to warm up, but still moist from the winter rains, it is a good time to plant shrubs and trees without the need for excessive watering regimes.

Make up your hanging baskets but bring in to a conservatory or greenhouse if warning of frost.

Some seeds can be sown directly into the ground now such as sweet pea, cosmos, nightscent, iberis, and larkspur. However rake the ground surface into a fine tilth first and water in gently.

Plant out pond plants in aquatic compost which is low in nutrients, and before submerging cover with a heavy layer of gravel. This prevents the soil from floating away and stops fish disturbing the roots.

Waterlillies and other clump forming aquatic plants can be divided now.

It is a good time to sow spring flowering biennial plants such as wallfowers, bellis perennis, forget me nots, sweet williams, and winter flowering pansies.

WILL PRICES: £75+VAT SINGLE £100+VAT JOINT

If you have money or property and become unable to deal with your affairs because of an accident or illness your assets may be frozen. If you have a stroke, or develop Alzheimer’s, your family may have to apply to the courts to deal with your affairs. This can be expensive, may take a year or more to complete and a large sum of money may have to be deposited with the courts!

A Lasting Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives somebody of your choice the power to deal with your financial affairs if for any physical or mental reason your were unable to. It is the only document which gives this power but you can complete one while in good health, so you need to act as soon as possible.

Food & Drink

Ho m e m a d e Bu rg e rs

Hopefully we will be blessed with some sun this summer. At which point the evening air will be rich with the smell of burning charcoal, (and quite possibly food!) as the barbecues are fired up!

As no BBQ is complete without burgers, we have included this delicious recipe.

If you enjoy this, I would recommend buying a burger press. They are very cheap but shape burger great burgers and use greaseproof paper discs est in a v In to separate the burgers - ideal for freezing the reat for extra ones. press. G

Top t i p...

burgers making cakes and fish

INGREDIENTS 1kg chuck steak minced Chopped sage and coriander 1 Onion chopped 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup 1 egg yolk 70g Bread crumbs

METHOD 1. Firstly fry the onion, then add the sage and coriander. Finally add the bread crumbs.

2. In a separate bowl prepare the mince.

3. Season the mince with salt and pepper, and add the ketchup.

4. Add half the onion and bread crumb mix.

5. Blitz the remaining half of the bread crumb mix in a food processor.

6. Combine this with the mince. Be careful not to over-work the

mince. It needs to retain its texture.

7. Add the egg yolk - this will help bind the mixture.

Making the pates 1. Roll the mixture into balls.

2. Between two pieces of greaseproof paper flatten the balls to make a burger / pate shape.

3. In a pan (not too hot) fry your burgers to your preferred level ie a little pink inside or well done, etc.

4. As the burger finishes cooking put some cheese on top, so that it melts over the burger.

To serve add bacon, onion, salad or whatever you prefer.
