Give apples their final thinning. Remove the king fruit (at the centre) from each cluster.

Spray gooseberries to keep down the pests.

Prune blackcurrants as soon as the fruit has been picked. Shoots that have fruited should be cut right out. Cut back older shoots to any strong new shoot. Then give them a feed to strengthen the young wood.

Freely water beans and outdoor tomatoes in dry weather. Feed tomatoes once per week with a purpose made fertiliser.

With raspberries (they are so easy to grow if you have the space) all canes that have fruited should be cut back to near ground level and burnt. Take out weak and crowded growth.
