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.

Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise

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.

HEALTH AND FITNESS
LOCK UP YOUR SCALES
Too many of us obsess when we get on the scale and see we’ve gained a few pounds when you’re trying to lose weight! There’s no faster way to ruin your day than to see the scales tipping in the wrong direction. When all is said and done and you’ve reached your goals, the scales will most likely register a loss - maybe even a big one. But don’t be surprised if your weight fluctuates a bit throughout your health and fitness plan. In fact, I’d be surprised if it didn’t. The time of day, your hydration level, the amount of waste in your digestive tract, and (if you’re a woman) your monthly cycle will all affect the scale. Also, one square inch of muscle tissue weighs more than the same amount of fat. So as you start toning your body and exchanging your not-so-appealing fat for attractive muscle tone, the scale won’t paint a true picture of the progress you’re making at all, but the mirror will…and so will your loose-fitting clothes. A pound of fat takes up three times the space a pound of muscle does. So when you lose fat and add muscle you will drop inches.
Focus on progress, not perfection Trust me…everyone falls off the weight loss wagon every now and then. The truth is you just might lose control in a moment of weakness; it happens to all of us. But when it does, true champions immediately get back in the saddle. Those without the proper mindset figure they’ve already screwed up, so they may as well really screw up and continue gorging. That’s like getting a flat tyre on your car and deciding you may as well slash the other three tyres because one is already flat. Instead simply get back on your program as soon as humanly possible. Perfection is a myth. Nothing is perfect. You should focus on progress and celebrate your daily accomplishments.

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.

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.
