SUMMER HOLIDAYS ARE FINALLY HERE! HAVE FUN AND KEEP YOUR GARDEN LOOKING GOOD August is traditionally holidaytime, so you might need to enlist the help of friends and family to look after the garden while you are away. When you are at home, take the time to prune summer flowering shrubs. Cutting back the foliage and stems of herbaceous plants that have already died back (e.g. Dicentra) is starting to be a priority. Don’t neglect hanging baskets - deadheading, watering and feeding will help them last through until autumn. Deadhead plants such as Dahlia, roses and Penstemon and bedding to prolong the display colour well into early autumn. Don’t cut off the flowerheads of ornamental grasses. These will
provide winter interest. Hardy geraniums can be cut back a little to remove tired leaves and encourage a new flush of growth. Prune climbing and rambling roses that do not repeat flower or produce attractive hips, once the flowers have finished.
PEST AND DISEASE WATCH
Many conservatory and greenhouse pests will be active during the summer months. Check plants regularly for signs of glasshouse whitefly, leafhopper, red spider mite, mealybugs and scale insects. Clean up fallen leaves and spilt compost from benches and floors to prevent pests and diseases spreading.

RECIPE
Call us: 0191 4871834 Recipes by Kirsty Hale, Riverford Cook and www.riverford.co.uk/recipes
Scandinavian-Style Beetroot & Potato Salad For a light supper, serve with boiled eggs, rye bread and a green salad. Or serve as part of a picnic.
INGREDIENTS 1 bunch of beetroot, approx 450g, trimmed of leaves 400g new potatoes 1 mini cucumber (or ½ an ordinary one), diced 1 apple, cored & diced 2 bunched onions, finely sliced 2 large or 6 smaller gherkins, finely sliced or diced if large 1 bunch radishes, finely sliced (optional) 2 tbsp crème fraîche 2 tbsp yogurt 2 tbsp chopped dill 2 tbsp chopped parsley
Serves 4-6 Prep Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins Method: Boil the beetroot until tender, approx 30-45 mins, depending on size. If they’re really large, they can take up to an hour or so. Drain and leave until cool enough to handle, then rub off the skins (they should come away easily). Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins, until tender. Drain and leave to cool. Chop the beetroot and potatoes into bite sized pieces. Put in a large bowl and add the cucumber, apple, onions, gherkins and radish if using. Mix the crème fraîche, yogurt, dill and parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Gently mix into the veg.

Your Life, Your Care, Your Way.
A new care provider for vulnerable people is available in Gateshead Bluebird Care (Gateshead) is the 200th franchise of one of the UK’s leading and fastest growing homecare providers. Services at Bluebird Care (Gateshead) do not just cater for an ageing population but they also provide assistance to anyone with specialist care needs, adults, young adults, children and their families and loved ones. Owners, Katheryn Ranson and Graeme Haswell, are proud to offer high quality homecare and specialist services to people in the Gateshead community. Ms Ranson, director of Bluebird Care (Gateshead), said: “I am particularly passionate about keeping the elderly and vulnerable in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, rather than the often bleak alternative of a care home. “It is a privilege to be able to assist people, to give them their independence back so that they can continue to enjoy their hobbies and maintain their lifestyle in their own home. As a business, we really believe in ‘good old-fashioned service’.” “The Bluebird Care ethos to provide customers with the quality of care that we would expect for our own family is the driving force behind our business. We treat everyone with dignity, respect, warmth and compassion, providing the sort of care we would want to receive.” Katheryn and Graeme are passionate about developing a successful business and a dedicated team of staff, who will be proud to be part of Bluebird Care (Gateshead) and are excited by the opportunities that are available.
