Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.
Down to earth advice on growing your own fruit and vegetables with allotment gardener Terry Walton, from his plot in the Rhondda Valley.
Terry's keeping an eye out for bean weevil and black fly on the broad beans, while the bees are making the most of the flowers.
It's time to plant the last of the winter veg crops, so Terry's got the crowbar ready to plant 80 leeks out on the plot - it's the perfect implement for making the hole ready for the young leeks to go in!
Next, it's time for the swedes, they're a member of the brassica family so will go under the fine mesh with the cabbages. It's best to work fast with the nets off to avoid any cabbage whites getting in and feasting on the new plants.
