Outdoor vines can be stopped now. Pinch out the growing points of new side shoots 2 leaves beyond the small fruit bunches. Limit fruit development to one bunch per shoot.

Thin apricot fruits.

Plant leeks using a dibber to make holes 6" - 8" deep. If you have not cooked leeks before, try them in place of onion. Fried gently in olive oil or butter, they give a delicious mild sweetness to fish and chicken dishes as well as stews and casseroles.

Sow more lettuce seed and radish.

If the weather is dry, make sure that you give water to vegetables noe especially peas, runner and french beans, and celery.

Pinch out the tops of flowering broad beans. This discourages black fly.
