Grow Your Own in MayYou won’t know where to start with all the exciting things you can be doing on your plot
this month so here’s a small selection of ideas!
Loads of seeds can be sown now both in and out. Here’s the lowdown. Directly outdoors: sprouts, caulis, cabbages, both broccolis, peas, roots, salad, sweetcorn (but pop a cloche over
these seeds to protect them from slugs). Indoors: French and runner beans (if it’s still cold, otherwise outdoors but protect from frost with fleece), squashes, chillies and peppers.
If you’ve already sown leeks, indoor or out, you can now transplant them to their final positions if they’re pencil thick. Prepare a watering can full of water mixed with manure. Then, make a deep hole with a dibber, drop your baby leek in and top up with the manurey water. Don’t fill the hole
with soil. This feed gives your leeks a brilliant head start and the deep hole ensures that you get a nice long white shaft.
You can plant your main crop potatoes this month. Last year I trialled Bob Flowerdew’s tip of lining my potato trenches with grass clippings and can report that I had an enormous bumper crop that was the envy of my neighbours (and that doesn’t happen often!) I’ll definitely be f
ollowing that advice again this year although I have foolishly weeded and feeded my own lawn so will be begging clippings from friends.
At the time of planting, or as they start to develop, you can make a really effective but also attractive support for your peas by using pruned raspberry canes stuck into the ground either side
of your row of peas at 45 degree angles.
Now, on to pests in the form of slugs - they can be a real menace to all your newly emerging seedlings. In my arsenal this year I’ve got a small (tiny) pond I made last year by sinking half a
barrel into a hole. I hoped frogs would just naturally navigate their way over but no joy. However, a friend with a successful pond full of frog spawn has offered to rehouse some of his my way. Fingers crossed that take to their new home and eat their way through my large population of slugs. If not it
will be back to the usual methods of beer traps, picking off and killing or relocating, and pellets.

Do Something Amazing Today Volunteer!
Together Life’s HappierRoyal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteer organisations
in the country. Our volunteers love sharing time with older people because it’s enjoyable, rewarding and inspiring.
By giving your time to do something practical for an older person in your community you help them stay active, independent and able to
continue to contribute to society.Wakefield Good Neighbours is currently seeking volunteers to help older people in local communities throughout the Wakefield district.You can help us to support older vulnerable people who are isolated and lonely by providing friendly social contact for a minimum of one
hour per week. This can be to offer practical support such as collecting a prescription, assisting with shopping, helping someone to maintain or start a hobby or simply popping in for a chat and a coffee.
You will be offered training, expenses, the chance to gain skills and experience and the knowledge that you are doing something rewarding.
If you would like to be part of this valuable and worthwhile service please contact us on 01924 446100 or 01977 696840
