Other jobs
Vegetables and Fruit
Pick Tomatoes and Cucumbers frequently and pinch out the growing point if you have not done so already. The unique Cucumber variety Iznik is still growing happily in a 10 inch pot so give it another feed to encourage more fruit.
Sweet Corn will soon be ready to pick. Do not allow it to become too chewy. Put your thumb into one kernel and if it firmly pops the corn is ready.
Stop the Runner Beans from going any higher up the supports.
There will still be a few Courgettes to pick and the summer Kale should be providing a meal or two.
Flowers
Cut any everlasting flowers before they are fully open for winter drying.
