Stop cutting Asparagus.

Stop cutting Asparagus.


Those who continue to cut Asparagus after this date will be seriously weakening the crowns, and will not help next years crop. Weed the bed thoroughly, and if you have light soil give a top dressing of feed to help the grow strong again.

Although it is too early to practice ordinary summer pruning, it will help to shorten side growths of Sweet Cherries growing on walls to within five leaves of their bases. By doing this many aphis are removed, and sun and air can get among the ripening fruit.


Tomatoes plants must be restricted to one main shoot by the removal of all side shoots. This should be done every week to stop the side shoots growing to big and taking over the main plant.
