away any early crops that have finished to make room for catch crops
of Carrots or Beetroot.
Sow
an early maturing Pea such as Meteor or Kelvedon Wonder to catch a
late crop of Peas.
Sow
late Savoy Cabbage. Sow thinly where the plants are to mature and
thin to 5" apart later.
Plant
winter Cabbage such as January King. This is probably the latest you
can do this to achieve a winter crop.
The

the eggs on the underside of plants before they do any damage or spray
with Derris.
Spray
Celery with a combined fungicide/insecticide against Leaf spot disease

outdoor Tomatoes well watered and feed once a week with Tomato fertiliser.

to pick young courgettes to ensure crop succession. If you are growing
a marrow for size, remove all new flowers and fruits to ensure maximum
growth.
The
planting of sprouting Broccoli and Kale should be completed as soon
as possible.
Cucumbers
in frames should be fed once a week and kept well watered.
