1 Japanese onions – If you got your sets planted last October you will probably have a really good crop now. Break the root hold and lay the onions on their sides for a week or two and then lay them out on drying racks in a sunny position until the tops shrivel and the outer skins go golden brown. The onions can then be stored in a cool, dry place; check each onion for any soft areas and discard these as the fungal infection that causes this can transfer to the clean ones while in storage. The same technique will be necessary with any garlic that you planted last autumn. For spring- planted sets and seeds harvest will not be until mid-August at the earliest.

2 Garden furniture – Have you checked yours recently? Does the wood look grey and tired? Are your plastic chairs looking as if they need a good clean? Whatever your situation now is a good time, before you put your feet up and relax for the rest of the summer, to give the garden furniture a good clean. Treat wooden chairs and tables with teak oil or similar and use a good household cleaner to remove dirt and stains from plastics. If you have metal garden furniture treatments will be specified in the documents provided when new. But anti-rust treatments may be necessary as well as a decorative coat of outdoor quality paint. Check all nuts and bolts and other securing devices so that the chairs and tables do not collapse on you just as you sit down for that well-earned cup of afternoon tea!! Read

` To bee or not to bee – as a lover of honey, I have found the new book by Alison Benjamin and Brian McCallum particularly interesting. Entitled ‘Keeping Bees And Making Honey’, the book describes every aspect of this fascinating process, from commercial growers’ need for bees, to the harvesting and uses of the final products – honey and bees wax. With excellent photographs to support the interesting and detailed text, it is a book for anyone who is looking to start keeping bees as part of a self-sufficiency or sustainable lifestyle. Published by David and Charles, it retails at £14.99 – ISBN 978-07153-2810-1. Have a look at www.urbanbees.co.uk for more information about keeping bees in an urban environment.
