START COLLECTIN G SEEDS FROM PLANT S YOU WANT TO GROW NEXT YEAR ,
SUMMER IS PROGRESSING TIME TO SIT AND ENJOY YOUR GARDEN This is often one of the hottest months of the year and a great time to sit out and enjoy your garden. Keep plants looking good by regularly dead-heading, and you’ll enjoy a longer display of blooms. Make sure you keep new plants well watered, using grey water where possible, and hoe off weeds, which thrive in the sunshine. FRUIT TIPS n Check tree ties as tree trunk girth increases. n Water cranberries, lingonberries and blueberries regularly with rainwater. Tap water will do when butts run dry. n Complete summer pruning of gooseberries and red/white currants. n Pollinate female indoor melon flowers, then pinch out 2cm (0.75in) beyond the flower. n Pinch out the growing point of outdoor melons twice, at four-week intervals.
n Water and feed outdoor melons regularly once established.
1
Check clematis for signs of clematis wilt
n Pull off suckers appearing around the base of fruit trees.
2
Place conservatory plants outside now that it is warm
n Make sure fruit isn’t drought stressed, especially those in containers, against a wall or newly planted.
3
Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise
4
Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering
5
Pick courgettes before they become marrows
6
Treat apple scab
7
Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds, and keep them topped up
8
Order catalogues for next year’s springflowering bulbs
9
Give the lawn a quickacting summer feed, especially if not given a spring feed
10
Give woodwork a lick of paint or preserver, while the weather is dry
n Give regular liquid feeds to plants growing in containers. n Protect heavily-laden fruit tree and bush branches against snapping under the weight. Use a stake or prop to keep them upright.
STRUCTURES Take advantage of dry weather to catch up on painting and preserving jobs - sheds, fences and garden furniture are all regularly in need of a new coat.

THE ASHES 2015
Image: Alison Henley
WIMBLEDON
The 2015 Ashes test series between England and Australia returns this month, beginning in Cardiff.
29th June - 12th July
The venues for the 2015 Ashes series were confirmed on 22 September 2011 as Lord’s, Trent Bridge, the SWALEC Stadium, Edgbaston and The Oval. The fixtures were announced on 12 May 2014
It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments (Majors), the others being the Australian Open, the French Open (Roland Garros) and the US Open. Since the Australian Open shifted to hard court in 1988, Wimbledon is the only Major still played on grass, the game’s original surface, which gave the game its original name of “lawn tennis”.
Starting with this series, the four-year cycle of Ashes series in England will be brought forward by two years. Similarly, series in Australia were brought forward one year beginning with the 2013–14 series. The term originated in a satirical obituary published in a British
newspaper, The Sporting Times, immediately after Australia’s 1882 victory at The Oval, their first Test win on English soil. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. The mythical ashes immediately became associated with the 1882–83 series played in Australia, before which the English captain Ivo Bligh had vowed to “regain those ashes”. The English media therefore dubbed the tour the quest to regain the Ashes.

Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and widely considered the most prestigious.
The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Singles Final, scheduled for the second Saturday and Sunday respectively. Five major, junior, and invitational events are held each year.

RECIPE
Call us: 0191 4871834 Recipes by Kirsty Hale, Riverford Cook and www.riverford.co.uk/recipes
Broad Bean Fritters with Sweet Chilli Sauce Fresh tasting, with a kick from the chilli sauce. Serve with a salad as a main course for 4, or on their own as a starter for a BBQ for more.
INGREDIENTS 300g broad beans (podded weight) 125g self-raising flour 2 eggs 2 tbsp crème fraîche 75ml milk 2x whole sussex slipcote sheep’s cheese with garlic & herbs 6-8 mint leaves, finely chopped A few finely chopped chives Butter & oil for frying Riverford sweet chilli sauce, to serve
Serves 4 Prep Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 12 mins Method: Cook the podded beans in a pan of boiling water for 3 mins, then drain and refresh in cold water. Peel off the outer skins and discard, leaving the bright green inner bean. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, eggs, crème fraîche and milk, until you have a smooth, thick batter. Crumble in the cheese, broad beans, mint and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Melt a little oil and butter in a large frying pan. Add spoonfuls of the mixture (you’ll need to cook them in 2 or 3 batches). Cook on a medium heat on one side for 2-3 mins, until golden brown (you’ll see small bubbles appearing as they’re ready), then turn and cook for 2 mins or so on the other side, until cooked through. Serve with sweet chilli sauce.
