Fruit and veg job checklist - week 38

16 - 22 September 2013

It's time to...

Pick ripe apples and store the best in fruit crates
Dig up strawberry runners and pot them up
Net autumn raspberries and blackberries to protect them from birds
Lift and dry maincrop potatoes and store in paper sacks in a cool, dark place
Pot up a few herbs to bring into a porch or grow on the window sill
Sow broad beans and hardy peas for early crops next year
Check pears regularly to harvest when perfectly ripe
Vegetables to sow now include winter radishes, lettuce and salad leaves, spinach, spring onions, and turnip 'Tokyo Cross' for its green tops
