Let's pretend its Summer...
If you think you've missed growing summer vegetables here's a tip - many garden centres still have a few plants that will produce for you until the end of April. Seek out punnets of corn that are at least 30cm high, potted chillies with flowers on and beans that are at least 20cm. If you can still find a zucchini in the stores, that will also produce for you this season. Plant into soil that has been well dug over with Living Earth Compost or straight into Living Earth Garden Mix. And Digger spotted big buckets of strawberry plants the other day - with fruit on. But don't sow seeds - it's too late.
