Fruit and veg job checklist - week 20

13 - 19 May 2013

It's time to...

Tie in new shoots of blackberries and cane fruits to support wires
Sow sweetcorn in deep pots, raising strong young plants to transplant into the garden in June
Pinch off strawberry runners as soon as they develop, to stop them competing with developing fruit for nutrients
Earth up soil around emerging potato shoots, which encourages higher yields
Sow seeds of the following crops outside this week: radish, spring onions, coriander, parsley and chives
