Seasonal Reminders

Harvest Pumpkins
Leave the knub on the end to prevent Pumpkin from rotting.

Pick Tomatoes
Pick tomatoes as soon as fruit shows hint of colouring.  They will ripen a lot quicker on sunny window sills than left on the vine.

Remove old leaves
Remove old leave from Oriental Hellebores and send to tip or burn .  The old leaves harbor aphids and take forever to rot down in the compost heap.  Feed Hellebores with rose fertilizer and with gypsum.

Adjust mower
Lift mower a notch when mowing from now until new grass growth in spring.

Sow seed
Sow broad bean seed.
