E d i o r rsquo s l e t e r are not very bright birds and

they just kept coming back

though they must have

known the reception theyrsquod

get ndash they even started to

build a nest in the wisteria inlate spring right under the

bedroom window until Kath

took a broom handle to it

While Kathrsquos early morning

eruptions were a lot more

disturbing than the irritating

avian conversation I had to

agree that 5am outside our

bedroom window is neither

the time not the place for

noisy pigeon canoodling

The reason I mention this

now is that itrsquos the time of

year when the dawn chorus

strikes up once again and

the pigeons Irsquom sure will be

back Itrsquos also the right time

to prune the wisteria and if

I am to rescue it from total

destruction at the hands ofmy very determined wife

the pruning will need to be

sufficiently savage to

ensure the pigeons can find

no foothold Flowering may

be a little thin this spring

Looking for something a little different this year Graham Rice reveals the lesser-grown colourful summer bulbs worth sourcing from garden centres now

4 AMATEUR GARDENING 23 JANUARY 2016

ITrsquoS JANUARY itrsquos the

middle of winter whichmeanshellip itrsquos time to thinkabout summer Yes even

as the snowdrops are bloomingand the crocuses and daffodilsare poised for their springdisplay you need to cultivatea summer state of mind

The glorious colour ofsummer bulbs (includingcorms rhizomes and tubers)can transform a summer

border In new gardens theimpact is relatively quick no

need to wait years like we do forperennials or shrubs to mature

Even in established borders new

colour combinations canquickly be created And whilesome summer bulbs are beststarted off in pots many can beeasily slipped into gaps betweenestablished plants

Unlike spring bulbs many of which originate in climates withcold winters (and often drysummers) summer floweringtypes tend to hail from milderclimates where soils remainmoist in summer They areplanted towards the end of theirdormant period ready to burstinto growth as temperatures rise

Some such as cannas

eucomis and gladioli arerelatively tender and are bestlifted after flowering and stored

in a frost-free place over winterHowever others such asnectaroscordum and crocosmiaare generally hardy and can beleft in the ground

lesser-known (and grown)colourful bulbs to look for ingarden centres now Yoursquoll oftenfind a wider range of choicesavailable on websites and incatalogues The important thingis to get your order in beforethey sell out bulbs will bedispatched soon

ALWAYS think of annuals as the

frivolous funsters of the garden

They come they blaze a trail of

colour across the summer and then they

fade away to nothing when the days

shorten and the temperatures drop

Hardy annuals are easy to sow and

most varieties will germinate in one or

Get your hardy annuals germinating now and lookforward to an early blast of summer colour says Ruth


two weeks Once the seedlings are a 2in

(5cm) tall you can transplant them into

individual pots and grow them on

Seeds sown outside now will sit in cold

earth until it warms in spring so sowing

under cover gives the seeds a head start

and also means you will have an earlier

show of colour in the garden

Prepare soil now for sowingDig over the soil now in garden beds where you plan to

These can later be hoed away so they wonrsquot competeith your flower seeds for light nutrients and water

Get rid of stones and add a general-purpose fertiliser tohe ground if necessary

If the ground is cold cover with black polythene or aeece cloche for a few weeks before sowing or planting toarm the soil in readiness

Two ways to direct-sow hardy annual seeds

moved later

Tie string to two

wigs and stretchtaut across theed where youlan to sowour seeds

Make a V-shapedh following the taut twine then water

horoughly and let it soak in

Sow the seeds evenly so they arenrsquotrowded then gently cover them with soilnd lightly press it down using the hoe

ou can sow the seeds of hardy annualsutside now but itrsquos best to wait becausehe ground is cold and wet They will just sit

here and not germinate until the warmereather arrives This also

leaves them vulnerable to rotting andbeing eaten by hungry mice

If you want to direct sow seeds in the soil

once it warms there are two main methodsof doing so

Broadcast sowingThis is good forsowing large areaswith a mix ofannuals

Q Before startingto sow mark outthe border intosections using silver

sand to give you an idea

of where the different varieties will grow

Q Scatter seeds thinly so the emergingseedlings arenrsquot over-crowded then rakelightly over the area and water using awatering can with a fine rose attached

You gardening

week

Which greenhouse for you

OR MOST gardeners the

greenhouse is one of their most

essential pieces of kit

In our uncertain climate it allows you to

give seeds a head-start by sowing early

and in the summer greenhouses are

perfect for growing tender crops such

as cucumbers and aubergines as well

as offering tomatoes a warm and largely

blight-free haven

They also come up trumps in the

colder months when they make perfect

over-wintering stations for citrus plants

bananas and other tender perennials

But there is more to getting a

greenhouse than simply installing one in

your garden You need to decide what

size you need where is the best place

for it and which way it should face

And then what materials to choose

for the framework and panels Will

you need opening windows And what

about attaching waterbutts

On these pages I explain everything

that needs to be taken into account

when buying a greenhouse


F

Before buying establish how much space you have

available and what size greenhouse meets your needs

Where to put yourgreenhouse

Q Your greenhouse should be situatedin an open area of the garden not

overhung by trees that can block outsunlight when in leaf and drop debrisonto the roof in autumn

Q Overhanging trees may pose adanger in stormy weather especiallyif winds are strong enough to breakbranches which can fall onto the glass

Q If possible place your greenhouseaway from children playing ballgames for obvious reasons

Q Orientate your greenhouse on aneast-west access to maximise itssunlight during the day This also helpsit receive the most light in winterwhen the sun is at its lowest

nce you h ve inst lled your

greenhouse you canrsquot just leaveit to its own devices Regular

cleaning is essential to keep it

free from mould and moss aswell as the pests and diseases

that affect your plants Brokenglass and rickety doors

should be fixedimmediately

top tip

Faced with buying her first greenhouse Ruth looksat the range of factors that need to be considered

Avoid siting your greenhouse

in a shady spot

What size should I get

WHEN DECIDING on the size of

greenhouse to buy get the biggest

one that you can reasonably fit into

the space you have because it will

fill up with plants and seedlings

before you know it

The most popular size is 6ftx8ft

(18mx24m) with more serious

gardeners going for 8ftx10ft

(24mx3m) or larger

A 6ftx8ft greenhouse

suits most needs






Whatrsquos the bestframe to chooseQ Aluminium is the mostpopular material forgreenhouse frames as it islight low maintenance andfairly cheap

Q Wooden frames look veryattractive but the wood is

bulkier than aluminium andcan cast more shade It is alsousually considerably moreexpensive than aluminium

Q Wooden frames also needmaintenance as they weatherand are more likely to attractand shelter pests thanaluminium struts

What makes glass the best covering to useQ Because glass lets through 90 per cent oflight it is by far the best glazing material forgreenhouse cladding

Q Do not use conservatory glass as it is designedto alter the composition of sunlight and is lesssuitable for growing plants

Q Also remember to use toughened glass ondoors and elsewhere if the greenhouse ispositioned where people can fall into it or kickballs against the glass

Q Another option is polycarbonate sheetingwhich is a twin-walled plastic glazing It is harderto break and lighter than glass but lets in lessight which may restrict plant growth

Q Twin-walled acrylic plastic glazing is also

available It transmits 85 per cent of the lightthat hits it but is brittle and can crack

Why do I needventilation

Q A greenhouse needsgood ventilation to controltemperature and reducefungal diseases Roof ventsare the best Ideally theyshould be on both sides ofthe ridge and equivalent to

15-20 percent of floor areaQ Side vents such as louvredvents which allow regulationof airflow are no substitutefor roof ventilation

Q Automatic openersthat open or close inresponse to greenhousetemperatures are useful butslow to respond and needsupplementing with manualcontrol such as openingsome windows and the dooreach morning Motorisedvents activated by heatsensors are more efficientbut may be too costly forhome use

Ventilation helps airflow

and temperature control

Wooden frames need

more maintenance

Aluminium frames

are lightweight andlow maintenance

Other protective options to choose fromIT IS lovely to have the room for a

greenhouse but not everyone is that

lucky ndash and nor can everyone afford one

However there are many different

options available that can make up for

the lack of a lsquorealrsquo greenhouse

They include cloches and simple

modestly priced covered structures aswell as windowsill propagators that allow

people living in flats to grow their own

produce and raise early seedlings

Q PolytunnelsThey are morespaciousbut lessattractive thangreenhousesAlso trickyto keep frostfree butprotect cropswell and allowyear-roundharvests

Q ColdframesThese offerlittle control oftemperaturebut keepstrong windsheavy rain andlight frosts atbay Good foroverwinteringyoung plantsand startingseedlings

Q WindowsillpropagatorsPerfect ifyou have avery smallgarden orlive in a flatThey comein differentsizes and

are great forgerminatingseeds

Q ClochesThese aresmall clearplasticor glassenclosuresthat are usedfor protectinga single plantor to warm

the soil beforesetting aplant outside

Q Mini-greenhousesThese tallframes withshelving anda transparentcover areideal to over-winter plantsand start

seedlingsin shelteredconditions

F i r s t T u n n e l s

Polycarbonate is cheaper than glass but

doesnrsquot let as much light through



You gardening

week

TrsquoS SAID that in life

nothing is certain apart

from death and taxes

But for gardeners there is

a third certainty whatever

size of greenhouse you have

yoursquoll soon run out of space

For this reason Irsquom making

use of winter days to improve

my greenhouse in time for

the spring growing season

Irsquom focusing on increasing

growing space improving

heating and ventilation and

keeping plants watered in my

6x8ft (18x24m) aluminium-

framed greenhouse which I

have just built in the sunniest

corner of my garden

It doesnrsquot matter whether

yoursquove got a new greenhouse

or one thatrsquos been in the

family for a generation

follow my guide to preparing

for a successful season of

gardening under glass

Follow Marcrsquos guide to preparing yourgreenhouse for the busy spring season

A l l T i m e I n c

I

Irsquom improving my greenhouse

before itrsquos packed full of plants

Greenhouse action plan for spring

1 Turn up the heatFrost is a risk as late as JuneA paraffin heater can helpon chilly nights but electricheaters with thermostaticcontrol are better Outdoorpower supplies must now beinstalled by an electrician

2 Add a roof ventA roof vent is essential buttwo roof openings will giveyou a greater flow-throughof fresh air Roof vent kits arecheap and easy to assembleItrsquos worth considering fittinga vent auto-opener too

3 Build stagingIrsquom building an extra run ofaluminium staging to housemore plants but chains suchas Homebase and BampQ sellcheap free-standing woodenshelving units thatrsquoll give youvaluable extra growing space

4 Erect shelvingEvery inch of greenhousespace is precious so Irsquomfitting shelving above thestaging where light levelsare good Irsquom making my ownshelves using metal bracketsand timber off-cuts

7 Get a weather stationA maxmin thermometer isvital but I also use this digitalgadget (pound1999 maplincouk) A sensor in thegreenhouse transmits data tothe main unit in my house so Ican monitor temperatures

8 Wash glass nowIn early spring light levels arecritical to plant growth Giveyour greenhouse a good washnow using warm soapy water(washing-up liquid does the

job fine) then hose the glassdown with cold water

5 Fit a rainwater kitI found a rainwater kit thatconnects both gutters (pound32 elite-greenhousescouk)It channels water into a giant230-litre water butt which Ibought last year for pound24 fromWilkinson ( Wilkocom)

6 Install a louvreStagnant air can be a disasterin a greenhouse encouragingdisease outbreaks Removinga low pane of glass and fittinga louvre window will help todraw in fresh air and circulateit around the greenhouse

Eight steps to get your greenhouse ready for spring

Y LOVE of the humble yet

versatile spud knows no

bounds Boiled mashed

roasted cold in a potato salad ndash they are

my desert island vegetable and I could

eat them every day without getting

bored of the taste

Luckily potatoes are easy to grow I

Starting early spuds

had massive success last year with some

small earlies growing in deep compost-

filled bags

I want to do the same this year but

instead of waiting until later in the season

and growing them outside Irsquom going

to start them now and plant them up in

bags in the greenhouse

growing

early

potatoes if you are short of gardenspace because they take up less

room than maincrop varieties

They are also less prone to blightdisease because they mature

RUTH SAYSBy chitting my first early seed spuds

now theyrsquoll be in their growing bags by the end of February and ready to

harvest around three months later

lsquoCharlottersquo potatoes

are second earlies

Q Chitting simply means encouraging the

seed potatoes to sprout before planting

Q Start chitting from late January in warmerparts of the country or in February incooler areas about six weeks before youintend to plant out the potatoes

Q Each seed potato has a more rounded

blunt end that has a number of lsquoeyesrsquo

Q Stand the tubers blunt end uppermostin trays or old egg boxes in a cool frost-free spot with plenty of natural light

Q The potatoes are ready to be plantedout when the shoots are 15-25cm(05-1in) long

Stand tubers in

egg boxes withtheir lsquoeyesrsquo

pointing upwards

Plant potatoes out when shoots

are up to 1in (25cm)long

Cordon pears

1 Prepare a bed on a sunny well-drained site dig deep and add

compost to poor or heavy soils2 Fix three horizontal wires 2ft

(60cm) apart between postscanes at 45˚and 2ft (60cm) apart

3 Plant cordons 2ft (60cm) apartby each cane Ensure the graft

is several inches above soil level4 Prune side shoots to three leaves

to form fruiting spurs do notallow fruit to form in the first year

A FTER YEARS of

glut and famine

from the two pear

trees in our

previous garden my other

half Dave suggested that a

short row of cordons would

be better on our new site

Pears are fussier to grow than

apples and training them as

cordons (single stems) makesroom for several different

varieties helping to overcome

some of the problems

Pears need a sunny

sheltered spot and low lying

areas should be avoided

because their early

blossom can be

damaged by

lingering frost

Irsquove trained

my cordons

on posts and

wires at the

top of a slope

but you could

grow them against

a sunny wall or fence

for extra warmth ordons

are also easy to cover with

fleece on cold spring nights

The soil needs to be fertile

and well-drained too so fork

through the whole bed to

remove any compaction and

add lots of compost to poor

or heavy soils

Many nurseries now sell

cordons as lsquominarettesrsquo

or lsquocolumnarrsquo trees

f growing

vertically but I

prefer to plant

them in the

traditional

way at an

angle of 45deg

I either case

p anting from

late autumn to

e y pring will allow

the roots to establish better

although pot-grown trees can

be planted at any time of

year To train at an angle tie

their stems to canes attached

to the wires Alternatively

support columnar trees with

individual stakes

The main pruning is carried

out in summer to create the

short spurs that bear the fruit

At that time you cut any long

side shoots from the main

trunk back to three leaves

and shoots growing from

ldquoSoil needs tobe fertile and

well-drainedrdquo

when they easily come off the

tree but are still firm Store

them in a cool room until they

are at their peak ndash juicy but

still slightly crisp Even so the

window of perfect ripeness is


short Each of our cordonswill provide fewer fruit than a

JOHN NEGUS

DR JANE BINGHAM

has a plant sciencePhD and a MSc inplant ecology

ALeylandii do not have

a particular

requirement for acid soil to

grow well

However like many

conifers the wood and

leaves tend to rot down to

compost that is quiteacidic so if the trees have

been dropping leaves for

several years it is likely

they have lowered the pH

of the soil to some degree

Dahlias are happy in a

range of soil types so will

not be upset by slightly

acidic conditions Cannas

prefer a slightly acidic soil

so will appreciate the

conditions that you

probably have in thatparticular flower bed

To find out whether your

soil is acid or alkaline you

could do a soil pH test

Q This

winter

the leaves

have fallen off

my lemon tree

though the

stem remainsgreen The

plant is in a

sunny position

by a window

and is moved

to the middle

of the room at

night What

should I doMrs J Brown

Claverdon

AThe leaf fall could bethe result of cold

draughts or wet soil through

the winter Improve the

vigour of your plant by

making sure it has the

right conditions

In winter reduce watering

so the compost is kept

almost dry and move the

plant to a cooler position

such as a conservatory or

cool well-lit bedroom

In spring and summer

position your plant indoors

in bright light but not direct

sunlight In the summer itcan go outdoors in a sunny

very sheltered spot

Water freely when in

growth and give it well-

drained slightly heavy acid

soil ndash John Innes No 3 with

added grit and leafmould

would be ideal

Feeding is important ndash a

high nitrogen fertilizer in

summer and a balanced

foliar feed in winter to keep

leaf colour and encourage

the plant to flower

Sue Brandon wondered about

growing seeds without a

greenhouse We suggested she

sows seeds in 3in or 4in 7cm

or 10cm) pots which should

fit on windowsills Ensure

seedlings get plenty of

light by fixing reflectors

of kitchen foil around

the part of the pot

facing away from

the window so

light is reflected on to the seedlings

Laura Jane Maynard I am moving house shortly and want totake a young apple tree with me Itrsquos been planted for less than twoyears Whatrsquos the best ways of helping it settle into its new garden

Dr Jane Bingham Carefully lift and pot up your tree beforeFebruary while it is still dormant Use a good quality soil-basedcompost that drains well You can keep your tree in its pot until youdecide where to plant it in your new garden Water it well duringdry spells in spring and summer

AThe overwintering of

many bulbs including

gladioli depends on the soil

type drainage and how cold

your garden is

On wet heavy soils in areas

that get a lot of frost gladioli

may not come back Mix grit

into heavy soils at planting

can help to improve drainage

On my light well-drained

soil I am successful at

overwintering the species

gladioli but not always the

cultivars I also find that those

that do overwinter often are

damaged or grazed by slugs

Controlling slugs early in

the season will help prevent

this problem

Q I grew some potatoes for the first time aiming to

get a crop for Christmas But suddenly the tops

went black ndash they got blight Should I sterilise my soil or

grow something else

Frank Bower Pontypridd Wales

ABlight only affects potatoes tomatoes and related

solanaceous crops There are no soil sterilants available

to amateurs and you would need to get it done

professionally which could be expensive

I suggest that you grow other crops where the potatoes

were including lettuce spinach runner beans carrots

turnips and radishes These will not be affected by blight

disease in the soil where the potatoes were infected

foliage as well as the crop

Q When I moved into my

flowers twice a year the

How should I care for it

Mrs T Haley Chatham Kent

AI am certain your

magnolia is a variety of

the hybrid x soulangeana It

flowers in late spring with

most flowers opening

before the leaves Floweringtakes a lot of energy so

there may not be enough

time for it to recover before

the second flowering

Magnolia x soulangeana

likes well-drained slightly

acidic loamy soil but will

tolerate clay Top-dress its

soil with home-made

compost or apply a general

purpose feed in AprilPrune in midsummer

when it is in full leaf Keep

pruning to a minimum

focusing on getting rid of

dead diseased and

damaged wood and

congested branches

in their first summerIn order to do this they must

be started early enough usuallyin February This is cheaperthan buying them ready grown(as plug plants or in small pots)and sowing yourself also means

you will be raising enoughplants to make impressivedrifts or repeated groupingsof the same varieties

ldquoTheyrsquoll regrownext spring and perform againrdquo

Sow seeds of first year perennials from nowonwards ndash just ensure they get enough heat

With a little forward planning you can guarantee a readysupply of colourful flowers for summer ndash year after year

Coreopsis (or tickseed) is areliable group whose daisy-likeflowers are freely produced Andthe Spanish poppy ( Papaver

A N EXTENSIVE trialof superbly grown

summer flowering

plants raised from

om cuttings can be seen

t leading plant wholesale

ompany Ball Colegrave

very summer they ask each

f their thousands of trial

round visitors to mark with

blue flag the plant they

ote the best

PETER SEABROOK is a

gardening expert and formerpresenter of Gardenersrsquo World

A marvellous display of Coleus lsquoCampfirersquo which topped

the poll for popularity at the Ball Colegrave summer trial

Last year remarkably

op of the poll among

orticultural tradespeoplend the general public

roved to be Coleus

Campfirersquo I say remarkably

ecause it is grown for

right orange leaf colour

ather than flowers and

oleus is a plant which waxes

nd wanes in popularity

hese burning flame-

oloured nettles were widely

rown both from seeds

nd named cultivars from

uttings in Victorian timesWidely grown on

windowsills theyrsquore regularsellers on fundraising plant

stalls It is in more recent

years with the introduction

of large leaved forms that

wersquove seen them used

outside as bedding plants

and to fill containers

The trick to get the longest

and most colourful leaves

is to repeatedly pinch out

the growing tips to prevent

flowering This becomes

increasingly difficult asthe summer extends into

autumn and shortening

days encourage flower spike

production though Coleus

lsquoCampfirersquo is naturally late to

flower so the need to pinch

is much reduced

Some of the older named

cultivars are also tricky to

carry through the winter

when soft rots spread in

cool damp conditions The

message here is cleanliness

remove every first signof yellowing leaves and

infected foliage Should

botrytis affect a stem and

grey fluffy mould appear

cut the whole piece away

cleanly into healthy growth

Fortunately soft wood

cuttings made from young

non-flowering shoots cut

just below a pair of leaves

root easily pretty well all

year round It is often safest

to root some cuttings in latesummerearly autumn to

form over-wintering mother

plants because young

plants are smaller easier

to accommodate and look

after through the winter

At this time of year we

can sow seeds of a good

mixture Sow them thinly so

each seedling can develop

true leaves and show the

colour variation then you

can transplant singly the

colours you like the bestSecond this year to

coleus was Osteospermum

lsquo3D Violet Icersquo and in 2014

Osteospermum lsquoSerenity

Blue Eyersquo topped the poll

A great deal of breeding

work is being undertaken on

this genera to make them

even longer flowering

Here again cuttings root

easily and itrsquos well worth

propagating more in latesummer for the next season

Peter Seabrook Peter Seabrook

The interesting thing with

osteospermum is the way

they rest in very hot weather

and flowering reduces so

they are at their best from

spring to high summer and

then again from late summer

into the autumn Q

admired a massive stag horn

fern (Platycerium superbum)

Close to the Dukersquos Garden

grows an old stone pine

(Pinus pinea) planted in 1846

Princess Augusta (mother ofGeorge III) kept it in a pot for

many years because the

gardens then covered only

five acres and shersquod run out

of space Once liberated the

tree took on an odd shape

eventually tilted over and had

to be propped up

Root circling in the base of

a pot harms the development

of young trees and while at

Westonbirt Arboretum

recently I learnt about air

pots These are covered in

pimples bearing air holes so

roots are air pruned and

divide to make a fibrous

mass For now Irsquove

improvised by trying a pot

designed for aquatic plants

TRICKS WITH CLAY

Our clay soil with flints has

given me some headaches

over the years as plants of

Mediterranean origin tend to

rot in wet winters and

woodlanders like daphnes

turn up their toes where

drainage is poor Wersquove

certainly learnt a few tricks

for coping on clay

Our children have left home

(I think) and both keep

houseplants Samantha now

25 even takes in ldquoboardersrdquo

and the owners of a

Calamondin orange want to

know what to do with the

fruits (see pic right) This is

one of the easiest citrus to

grow indoors being small

and happy to flower and fruit

almost constantly However

the shoots are thinner and

less dense at the top now it

grows indoors

DALEK MYSTERY

Before I pack up these pages

I must clear up the matter of

the Dalek that often creeps

into indoor pictures Yes we

do in fact have a life sized

Dalek living in our dining

room acquired by John for

his 40th birthday He can get

inside the thing and make it

move but canrsquot get out

without my help (go figure

as they say) Happy

gardening ndash and Irsquoll see you in

other parts of the mag Q

A FTER A favourable

autumn a total of

three fruits on my

aubergine plants

swelled enough to be worth

picking Shiny and marbled

they were beautiful but more

like duck eggs than egg

plants A mixed blend from

Mr Fothergillrsquos they tasted

delicious grilled and layered

into a moussaka

Sadly aubergines just

havenrsquot had enough warmsunny weather here to grow

properly in recent years

Refusing to give in Irsquom

revving up the heated

propagating case again and

have prepared battle plans

for 2016 A small batch will be

sown at monthly intervals in

the hope that some hit good

weather at a crucial stage

Meanwhile Irsquove cannily

over-wintered several plants

One or two are indoors but

make less than glamorous

house plants a couple are

hanging on in the frost free

porch and more are braving

it in the unheated

greenhouse with fleece

standing by So far so good

Chilli peppers and physalis

are worth saving too

The neglected lsquoMadresfield

Courtrsquo grapevine trained as a

standard was repotted last

spring and grew well all

summer This too is in the

unheated greenhouse and

Irsquom about to prune last yearrsquos

shoots back to within a bud

or two of older wood If you

havenrsquot pruned your grapes

do it now as any later and

the sap will start to run

SPUD PREFERENCES

Nowrsquos also the time to dwell

on what potatoes did well last

year If you havenrsquot ordered

any seed spuds the shops will

be fully stocked When I

began writing these pages

lsquoNadinersquo was my favourite and

despite trying countless other

varieties nothing has

changed and this attractive

second early is still my

number one for firm texture

and sweet nutty flavour

I only recently discovered

that the flavour and texture

of potatoes changes with

latitude Apparently lsquoNadinersquo

is foul and slimy in Scotland

because it was bred for

warmer climates Conversely

floury potatoes like lsquoGolden

Wonderrsquo have a better texture

up north but can crumble and

disintegrate in the south

Potato blight is a curse in

the mild south west ndash just as

it is elsewhere

STAND-BY VARIETY

Irsquod now always include some

blight-resistant lsquoSarporsquo

varieties in case blight strikes

early I especially liked lsquoKiflirsquo

which produced awesomely

large oval tubers of good

waxy salad potato texture

Otherwise Irsquoll stick with

promptly-planted earlies and

second earlies whose tubers

will grow large enough to dig

before blight strikes Q

Choose favourite potatoes (theseare lsquoNadinersquo) then experiment

with others for taste and texture

Place tubers lsquonavelrsquo end down inegg trays somewhere cool and

bright to sprout or chit

Polythene raised slightly off theground will warm the soil where

you aim to plant spuds

SHARP RISE IN VEG SEED SALES FOR 2016

Study could lettuce be harming the planetSCIENTISTS HAVE revealed that bingeing

on lettuce is more than three times as bad

for the planet as eating baconResearchers at the US Carnegie Mellon

University compared the greenhouse gas

emissions from the production of

different food types and stripped this

back to per 1000 caloriesrsquo worth

Because lettuce has such a low calorific

value someone would need to eat at least

two whole iceberg lettuces to get close to

the calorie intake of just two rashers of

smoked bacon

As a result the emissions from

producing bulky lettuces are far higher

per calorie than those from pork

reportrsquos authors said ldquoEating lettuce is

Lettuce is more likely to perish before itreaches the table with the food waste

further increasing its emissions footprint

BALANCED DIET

Other vegetables fared better than

lettuce with cabbage producing a fifth

of the emissions of pork per calorie and

broccoli producing less than half

The study also found that switching to

the type of balanced diet recommended

by nutritionists ndash more fruit vegetables

and seafood ndash actually produced six per

overall than the typical Western

New rose celebrates Dahl centenary THIS YEAR marks 100 years since the birth ofRoald Dahl ndash often said to be the worldrsquos

number one story-teller To celebrate this

centenary David Austin Roses is launching

a new English Rose

The lsquoRoald Dahlrsquo rose is peach-coloured and

is a tribute to James and the Giant Peach

author It was published in 1961 the year that

David Austin launched his first English RoseThe new rose will be unveiled at Chelsea in

May and will be the focus of a David Austin

exhibit alongside a copper peach sculpture

LOVE OF GARDENING

A spokesman for David Austin Roses said

ldquoMany of our roses have literary connections

To name an English Rose for one of the most

eminent literary figures of our time is a great

privilege This combined with Roald Dahlrsquos

love of gardening makes a perfect fitrdquo

TULIP-PLANTING

Before Christmas 30 gardeners atthe Eden Project in Cornwall plantedalmost 30000 tulip bulbs in just 10hours in the Mediterranean Biome E

He added ldquoYoung buds are a beautiful soft

orange-red the red reminiscent of the blush

found on a peach It is a free-flowering variety

ldquoThe red is reminiscent of the blushthatrsquos found on a peachrdquo

Garden ponds pose risk to starlingsGARDENERS HAVE reported

mass deaths of starlings

which are drowning in garden

ponds But it cannot be fully

explained by scientists

A study from the Zoological

Society of London revealed

that in 12 separate incidents

recorded between 1993 and

2013 in England and Wales

starlings drowned in groups

of between two and 80

Disease of the birds is not

believed to be a factor in the

incidents which all occurred

during the spring and summer

months and mainly

concerned juvenile birds

Dr Becki Lawson who led

the study said ldquoThese

songbirds are a flocking

species that bathe and drink

in groups Their plumage may

become waterlogged or the

starlings may be unable to

exit a confined space

ldquoThe inexperience of

juveniles in recognising waterhazards could also be a

factorrdquo she added

Conservationists suggest

that garden pond owners put

sloping exits or ramps in them

so that birds can get in and

out safely

Starlings are listed as a

threatened bird species in the

UK with numbers falling by

45 million since the 1980s

The public are being asked

to report starling drowning

incidents by visiting garden

A cactus is

not just forChristmasWYEVALE GARDEN Centres

the UKrsquos biggest garden

chain reported a surge in the

popularity of a poinsettia rival

last month

In the week running-up to

25 December the Christmas

cactus was showing sales

growth of 60 per cent on the

previous yearMairi Devlin category

manager for Wyevale said

that they had raised the

standard of their plants this

year She said ldquoWe sourced a

grower who selected the

broadest range of colours

now available to date from

dark fuchsia-pinks to white

ldquoThe last week before

Christmas saw a huge peak in

salesrdquo she added

Christmas cactus

(epiphyllum) is sourced fromMexico and should not be

confused with its close

relative the so-called Easter

cactus (schlumbergera)

which is sourced from Brazil

Mairi added ldquoThe Christmas

cactus is certainly making its

presence felt

ldquoIt has longevity a robust

personality and is easy to look

after making it a very

appealing plant Itrsquos a plant

that if looked after correctly

will still bloom in years to

W HAT WOULD

you say is the

most common

cause of poor

performance of a vegetable

or flower crop Bad soil

preparation Not enough

fertiliser Insufficient water

No I think itrsquos overcrowding

The tendency is to sow far

too thickly And then to leave

thinning the resulting crowd

until far too long after thelittle seedlings emerge

Years ago the original John

Innes research centre found

that tomato crops were

reduced when young

ldquoSow fewerseeds to get

bigger plantsrdquo

seedlings were crowded at

just a week or two old The

damage comes from the

slightest check and lots of

other seedlings competing

is among the worst checks

Thus the value of those multi-

cell trays where each seed

is sown in an individual lsquopotrsquo

ndash each seedling grows

unchecked by others and will

not be damaged by lsquoprickingoutrsquo when each seedling is

moved into a pot

But what about in the

ground Well instead of

sowing a continuous drill go

over to lsquostationrsquo sowing Take

parsnips why sow one seed

every inch when the final

plants will need to be say a

foot apart Far better to sow

three seeds in a wee triangle

every foot or so When they

come up you just remove all

bar the best Far easier than

hoeing out most of a row

As to spacing leave a foot ormore and you will have fewer

parsnips than at six inches

but each one will be bigger

creating less waste when

cooking Likewise for carrots

peas beans turnips ndash even

radishes ndash indeed almost

everything sown Sow fewer

seeds at greater spacing and

you get bigger stronger

plants with bigger and often

larger crops Watering and

weeding is easier and

because there are fewer

plants to inspect for pests

and diseases you getcleaner crops too

Itrsquos also worth sowing

in several small batches

rather than just the one

It is amazing what a

difference a few days

can make One sowing

will do okay while

another made three or

four days before or

after may do much

better (or worse) so

spread the risk over

several sowings to

even your oddsQ

Fewer seeds sownmeans less thinning

out ndash your parsnipswill appreciate it

Performance Popular on allotments this sturdy spade

didnrsquot disappoint when used for double-

W HETHER YOU think of it as

a back-breaking chore or

a chance to improve your

physical fitness digging

is very much a part of gardening And

when it comes to turning soil the spade

is the tool for the job

Of course it can be made a lot easier

by using the lsquorightrsquo spade which is whyit always pays to get a feel for it instore

rather than simply opting for one that

looks like itrsquoll fit the bill

Choose a spade that is a suitable

length for your height and a weight that

Spades under pound20Do you have to dig very deep into your pockets to get a decentgarden spade Consumer editor Julia Heaton finds out

is appropriate to your physical ability

as well as the conditions of the soil you

work with

It goes without saying that a spade

needs to be strong but it should also be

comfortable Grip the spade as though

you were digging and check the handle

and shaft for quality of finish The blade

needs to be sharp and if you do lotsof digging it is also worth looking for

spades with treads or lsquoboot saversrsquo

You shouldnrsquot have to pay a fortune

for a good work-a-day tool like this so

wersquove put a pound20 cap on the budget

FeaturesA traditional-looking digging spade with

ash wood shaft split to form a Y-handle

ndash reinforced with a rivet A longer shank

than found on most spades is intended

to give improved strength Secured by

two rivets the carbon steel head has

treads and measures 11frac12in (29cm) x 7in

(177cm) Total height 43frac12in (1105cm)

Weight 4lb 10oz (21kg) Comes with a

10-year guarantee

Performance With its engraved ash handle this is an

attractive tool A slightly greater than

usual angle between the blade and the

shaft took some getting used to but the

extra shank length was appreciated

Value Remarkable value for such a well-finished

tool Would make a lovely present

FeaturesHeat-treated and hardened carbon steel head with

hammer-finish epoxy coating for resistance to rust

scratches humidity and alkalines in the soil The ashwood shaft is weatherproofed with a clear lacquer

and the polypropylene D-handle with non-slip soft

grip tilts forward Two rivets secure the shaft to the

blade socket and one secures the handle to the shaft

Total length 37in (94cm) Blade 11frac12in (29cm) x 7frac14in

(185cm) Weight 4lb (18kg) 10 year guarantee

Performance It may look pretty basic but turned out to be the

most comfortable of the bunch ndash helped especially by

the forward-tilting handle which added leverage to turning the soil The wooden shaft seemed to

absorb some of the impact of hitting stone beneath the surface and the wellie-saving treads put an

end to any mid-foot discomfort

Value Excellent value for a spade that should see many years of work on the allotment or in the garden veg plot From an

aesthetic point of view it also makes a pleasant change to find a carbon steel blade thatrsquos not lsquoindustrial greyrsquo in colour

K EN AND CAROL

Kilvington have

pretty much

completely

remodelled their hillside

garden since moving to the

aptly named Whin Hill Road

Doncaster 20 years ago

ldquoThis actually is Whin Hill or

at least whatrsquos left of it as

wersquove dug quite a lot of it

ldquoThere was no plan to the garden it was never put down onpaperrdquo says Ken who has created curving terraced walls

ldquoThe builders just dug a

plateau in the hill to put the

house on So from the patio

we had the main garden

above us but couldnrsquot

actually see itrdquo

Kenrsquos original idea was to

make the most of the slope

by building a pond with a

waterfall down into it ldquoBut it

looked strangerdquo he admits

ldquoI had no plan but decided

to keep on digging All I

knew was that I wanted to

lower the garden and the

logical way was to terrace it

as I went alongrdquo

This involved lots of

manual work over a long

period of time

ldquoI did it with a wheelbarrow

and a shovel The topsoil was

about 4 or 5in deep under

which there was 10in of

patio to the shade of trees at the topThe intensely red Dahlia lsquoVesuviusrsquo is verypopular with the bees ldquoWersquove eight differentvarieties of dahliasrdquo Carol points out

sand 10in of gravel and

then it was sandstone ndash I

couldnrsquot get a mattock into

it so we got a little miniature

digger for a day to loosen it

all uprdquo said Ken

A FAIR SWAP

Fortunately the couple found

a farmer who farmed on clay

and who wanted to mix theirsand with his soil

Ken would send him over a

trailer full of sand and gravel

every other weekend and in

return would receive manure

and imported topsoil to

nourish future plantings

ldquoIt was a very advantageous

relationship for both of us ndash I

reckon we took out 450-500

tons over a three- or four-

year period he recalls

As a reward for his hard

work Ken and Carol now

have a delightful steeply

terraced garden full of colour

and differing styles

A white border with

dovecote on one side of the

plot is mirrored by a hot

colour-themed border on the

other Therersquos an herbaceous

embankment a stream

with waterfalls rockerybog garden a thatched

summerhouse that catches

the last of the evening

sunlight and of course the

pond and waterfalls

And the best thing about

the terracing

ldquoI like the fact that yoursquove

got to walk around the

garden to fully appreciate

it from different levels and

anglesrdquo said Ken ldquoYou canrsquot

do that from one spotrdquo

Redevelopment of the garden began with

construction of the pond and waterfall ndashThe latter replacing a series of steps Ken and

Carol uncovered when they moved in

Looking back at the house from higher up the garden

shows how steeply the land rises eye-level is roughly

on a par with the upstairs windows

THERErsquoS A robin that

visits my shed as he

knows I keep a pot

of mealworm grubs

under the potting bench

Normally he pops by to

collect his tithe and

disappears but recently his

avian instincts have changed

and if he does leave itrsquos only

to scare other birds and all-

comers from his territory

I wonrsquot pretend that

I speak lsquoRobinrsquo(I canrsquot even

speak French )

but recently

his chirping

has taken

on a very

obnoxious

tone and

he now

shows little or

no interest in

the mealworms

Whenever Irsquom about

he flutters for attention

hopping from pot-to-pot

while delivering a constant

diatribe of tweets

Now I know what yoursquore

thinkinghellip this elaborate

performance could be an

effort to tell me that a boy

called Timmy is stuck down a

mine But I know differently

Having watched Jeremy

Kyle and the judging on

MasterChef I know abuse

when I hear it and clearly

thatrsquos what this red-breasted

rogue is doling out to me

There is a deeper message

t g your hookrsquoWhen the birds

w signs of

testosterone-

fuelled

aggression it

means that

spring is

around the

orner and the

wndow of

opportunity to get

ter pruning

done is coming to an end

Roses (circled) apples

pears any deciduous tree or

shrub bar those with stone

fruits (peaches plums edible

and ornamental cherries)

can be pruned now while

the sap-pressure inside is

low so cuts donrsquot bleed

Itrsquos not a job to put off

as earlier springs may be

wet but warm enough to

promote early growth

The timing of springrsquos

arrival depends on where

you live as it travels from

the west passing overthe Scilly Isles and

makes its way at walking

pace through the West

Country before heading

east and to the Midlands

and beyond

Although the

weathermen might say

that winter will last they

arenrsquot always right So

heed the robins and if

they say that spring is

coming take your

chances and get the

winter work done Q

S h u

t t e r s t o c k

When robins show signs of

aggression it means that

springrsquos around the corner
