RAISED BED AND CONTAINER WEEKLY DIARY
WEEK 3 IN JUNE
A THOUGHT
We recommend many times in this raised bed diary that you sow seeds
in spaces left after harvest. A good idea but you can go one step
further to get the most from the limited space in a raised bed. A
week or two before harvesting sow seeds in pots and bring them on in
a sunny place. Then, when you harvest a vegetable, transplant the
pot grown seedling into the vacant space. It works a treat for
carrots, beetroot and many other vegetables.

FERTILISE RASPBERRY PLANTS
For the second time this year apply a long-lasting fertiliser
(bonemeal or blood fish and bone) to the surface of the container
soil, a handful should be enough. Work it into the top surface of
the soil with a trowel being careful not to disturb the shallow
roots. See our main
raspberry page for more details.
