THINGS TO DO AND WHAT TO SOW IN OCTOBER

October is really a great time to forage for wild damsons,sloes,elderberry and Blackberry’s to name a few all great for making a variety of fruit Vodkas and Gins which will be ready in time for Christmas.Its also the time for harvesting apples and a great way to use bruised apples which wont store is to make cider vinegar its really easy and far superior to shop bought.

Still lots to sow and plant really important to get garlic planted as it needs the cold to split the bulbs,and if you don’t like garlic try elephant garlic much milder,you can still sow salads and lettuce Meraviglia inferno will cope with the coldest weather as will ‘Lunga delle Cascine’ broad beans

RESOURCES—Fruit Growing

Nothing quite compares to that sharp tartness of the spring Rhubarb or the soft acidic sweetness of the first Raspberry’s, no shop bought  fruit ever comes close and with new cultivars the season for some soft fruit is now longer than ever.

The new root stocks and growing techniques also mean that even the smallest garden now has room for a productive fruit tree either free standing or against a fence or wall,no longer do we have to wait years for fruit trees to become productive and after all if you want to put a tree into your new garden why not make it a productive on.

How to plant Blackcurrants

In my film I plant Blackcurrants and talk about the differences  of ‘bare-root coir pot or pot grown’ how to plant them to ensure success and the varieties I like best,and planting one of the modern variety’s with much larger fruit

This really is a great fruit to grow as its versatile in the kitchen making a fantastic jam,wonderful sorbet or even your own juice
