Dear residents of Wareham and the surrounding area, Summer is here and we have actually had some good weather! Hopefully you have been able to get out and about, make the most of our wonderful beaches, had a coffee or two watching the world go by and even gone to a local show. I do love this time of year.

You should now be receiving The Wareham District Directory every other month. We cover the whole of Wareham over two months. One area one month and the other, the next. If that is not happening I need to know! Royal Mail deliver to every house and business in BH20, so let’s make sure you get your individual copy.

As a local resident if you have anything new or exciting happening, and would like to promote the good news, please let me know! We are here for you. The advertisers inside are also here for you, so please give them a call when you need their products and services, and do mention The Wareham District Directory!

I am delighted to introduce “Local Celebrity of the Month: Tell me All About It!” Liam Openshaw, who I am sure we will be seeing in the Olympics. As a young 13 year old he is quite incredible.

Nellie took us on a family camp with the Scouts last month. How exciting was that. She loved it and so did we as you can read on pages 26 and 27. Next month Nellie is taking us to Exmouth in Devon, where Hayden will take part in the National Surf Life Saving Championships. We will be camping in a nearby campsite and I am looking forward to sitting on the beach with my coffee, ‘watching’ Hayden competing.

The lucky winner of the prize wordsearch last month was Kay Paynter. Well done to you!

Here’s to a wonderful summer!

Very Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen Corney

How a Chiropractor changed my life!

“I have always had a passion for sports and martial arts. A back injury prevented me from going about my daily routine. I was constantly in pain and I was unable to sit for long periods of time. This impacted my work, social life and training. After exhausting every possible option to help strengthen my back, I had an idea to see a chiropractor. I found a wonderful chiropractor Victoria Meadway.

Within a few sessions of working with Victoria there was a noticeable improvement in my back and overall well-being. Victoria is extremely knowledgeable and has a vast amount of expertise. She continuously assesses your progress and gives you a treatment that best suits your body. Victoria also spoke to me at length about strength exercises and nutrition which helped me greatly with my recovery. It was really interesting for me to learn about how different foods reduce inflammation in my body. In addition eating the right foods helped me with my stomach and overall health issues.

Victoria is a very professional, empathetic and trustwor thy chiropractor. Victoria listens to you and gives you the time and care that

you need. I would highly recommend Victoria as a chiropractor. As a result of her gentle guidance and treatments I have made a full recovery. I have full control of my body, remained injury free and live a healthy lifestyle.”

Elaine van Heck Primary school teacher

Notes from...

WarehamTown Museum It’s August, but imagine not 2016, but 1762, and Wareham is unrecognisable.

Just a burnt out shell of a town.

On the morning of Sunday 25th July 1762 a fire starting at the Bull’s Head Inn on the site of the present Lloyds Bank in the centre of Wareham caused an inferno that by 7.00pm had destroyed two thirds of the town.

In the present day such a catastrophe seems unimaginable but most towns in the past had huge fires and needed to be virtually rebuilt. While Wareham’s fire is no exception to the rule it has left a recognisable mark even to this day. By-laws still prohibit building thatched residences while the lack of thatch in the town means that we know to a degree the boundaries of the fire damage. The best example is the King’s Arms in North Street where it appears the fire was halted, hence it still retains its thatched roof as well as its traditional inner layout.

So history is all around us but it needs a Museum to place the layers of history into a context that we can more easily understand. Wareham Museum does just that, and time and time again I am told by visitors - both local and from further afield - that it helps them piece together the very varied and interesting past of our town and locality.

It’s a great part of being a museum volunteer, passing on knowledge to visitors, so many of whom remark that

Illustration of Wareham on fire

they didn’t anticipate finding such a wealth of information. But our local area and Wareham itself is like that – full of surprises.

Wareham Town Museum tells the story of Wareham through the ages, with a special section on Lawrence of Arabia who lived nearby. We have postcards, books, DVDs and games for sale, and a quiz sheet for younger visitors. The museum is situated in the Town Hall, and is open Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm, April to October. Entrance is free. The museum is run by volunteers and there are lots of opportunities to get involved; if you would like to help, contact us via our website www.wtm. org.uk or Facebook page, or call in.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service the :DUHKDP area and

manager Justin Friel agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

Wildlife News

Talking about Wildlife...

Turning the Tide: Marine Conservation Fund Dorset’s seas are amazing. They are home to a magnificent myriad of marine creatures – sturgeons, angel sharks and crawfish to name a few! However, some of these species are now rarely seen or are gone altogether.

Dorset’s fragile, underwater habitats are declining, with pollution, unsustainable fishing and climate change threatening these delicate ecosystems.

As part of our campaign, we are launching a seahorse adoption scheme, for a one-off payment of £20. Seahorses are an intriguing species who are masters of camouflage, and we want to find out more about them. As part of the Marine Conservation Fund, we’re hoping to be able to invest in equipment to help us monitor seahorses and other marine wildlife.

Dorset Wildlife Trust wants to save these beautiful, misunderstood marine environments before it’s too late… but we can’t do this alone. The Marine Conservation Fund is an exciting and important new initiative which aims to provide the vital funding required to secure a brighter future for our seas, which can then be enjoyed for many future generations.

As a gift to yourself, or someone special, you’ll get a seahorse cuddly toy, regular updates and a fact sheet. The first 10 people to adopt will get a free Seashore Wildlife Guide. Phone Jodi Hibbard on 01305 264620.

Two areas we aim to secure as Marine Protected Areas are Studland Bay and Lyme Bay. Studland bay is home to enigmatic seahorses, colourchanging cuttlefish and rare rays. It is also one of only two nursery grounds in England for the endangered undulate ray.

Lyme Bay meanwhile hosts a multitude of majestic marine giants including white-beaked dolphins, harbour porpoise and basking shark. By protecting these fauna hotspots we will give this marine wildlife the chance to survive and thrive into the future.

Local Celebrity of the Month

Local celebrity of the month...

Tell me all about it!

Liam Openshaw and his brother Ryan who live in Poole are fantastic athletes, swimmers, life savers, and all round sportsmen. Liam recently won the British Schools Modern Biathlon Championships at Crystal Palace in March! He was then chosen for Team GB to represent Britain and went on to win the European round of the Biathle (run-swim-run) World Tour!

I am absolutely sure we will be seeing lots of Liam and his brother in the next few years, and I am delighted that he has written a piece about himself for you to read and enjoy. Here is Liam...

“How would I describe myself at the moment? I am a busy, happy, sporty 13 year old, squeezing in as many training sessions and competitions as I can into the week, and leaving just enough room to do my homework!

I am a member of Poole Swimming Club, Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving Club, Poole Athletics Club and Dorset Pentathletes. I train about ten times a week – more running up to key competitions – mostly in the swimming pool but also strength work in the gym, running on the track, and then my favourite – on the beach and in the sea. In my spare time, I play the drums (I recently passed my Grade 3 with Merit) and I go to Poole Grammar School.

I started Life Saving with Branksome Chine Surf Life Saving Club when I was eight and loved it from the start. I enjoy being out in the fresh air, powering into the sea for a swim and paddling a Race Board through the waves. Six months after joining the Club I was asked if I was going to go to the National Championships in Portreath, Cornwall. It sounded daunting and way above my ability, but I was assured that I would be fine, so signed up and went along. I was faced with waves over ten feet high - so big that I couldn’t paddle out through them on the Race Board, and ended up conceding the race from the wash at the foreshore. But I was hooked. And I have been to every National Championships since, eventually achieving

Liam Openshaw with his brother Ryan my goal and medalling last year – three times. My Club has also started competing at the National Indoor Championships, this year held in April, where I was so pleased to gain a further six medals – two of each colour. But my biggest achievement to date in the sea was winning the South West Open Water Championships, entitling me to swim at the British Open Water Championships in Sheffield, where I came seventh. I’m aiming to qualify this year and finish in the top five!

I had just turned nine when I entered the Poole and East Dorset Schools Swimming Gala, and to my surprise won the backstroke race. Although I had been learning to swim with Swalings School of Swimming since a toddler, I had not joined a competitive Swimming Club. After a trial, I started swimming with Poole SC a few times a week, where I developed my stroke technique. Four years later, I now swim up to eight sessions and cover 40 kilometres a week in the pool, plus a further session of Open Water training in the sea. I train with some of my best friends, and we always manage to find time to have a laugh after the hard work is done in the pool. We support each other, and any competitiveness in the pool during races, is gone when we are back on poolside. I love competing, because when I swim, I am not only trying to race well

To advertise in The Wareham District Directory, please call: 01929 408080

19 for myself but also for my team mates and Club. But it’s not all easy! There are days that I race and I am slower than I could be – my brother, Ryan, is two years younger than me, but he is pretty good in the pool – he manages to squeeze out times just seconds behind mine. It’s then that I get determined to work harder and train better, to make sure I can stay ahead of him for as long as possible! I’m determined he won’t beat me in a head to head race – but then I think he is just as determined to try beat me (and it might not be too long before that happens)!

I’ve definitely learned that you have to make the most of every opportunity that is offered to you as you never know what it might lead to. Privileged to be nominated for a Poole Sports Council Award for swimming at the British Open Water Championships, at the ceremony last autumn, my dad noticed that one of the other recipients was a Modern Pentathlete. We did a quick bit of research, thought it looked interesting, and decided to have a go - I entered my first Biathlon at the South West Schools Championships last September – and won it. It has been a rollercoaster since, where I have been offered lots of exciting opportunities to progress in the sports that I love. This took me to Crystal Palace and Birmingham to compete in two British Championship events (so I started running with Poole Athletics Club to improve my technique), where

Liam with his trophy at the British Schools’ Modern Biathlon Championships

I finished first and second. I had become a British Champion!!! But I am very aware, that although I was the one that ran around that track, and swam down the pool, I couldn’t have done it without my family who pay for everything and drive me everywhere, and my coaches who train me to be the best I can be.

Following the Champs, I was invited to join the English Talent Programme for GB Modern Pentathlon, which involves monthly training days where I have started to learn to shoot a laser pistol and to fence. This means that I can now compete in Modern Triathlons and Tetrathlons respectively. I still have a bit of work to do before I can do a full Modern Pentathlon as I will need to learn to ride a horse!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!! At the European Championships in Portugal last month, Liam came fifth in the Triathle and won the bronze medal in the Biathle. His GB Biathle team also won the gold team event. Ryan came 11th in the Triathle and then won the bronze medal in the mixed Triathle relay.

So Liam and Ryan have both qualified for the Triathle World Championships in Sarasota, Florida, in October 2016. They are due to attend the National Biathle at the end of this month which is the qualifier for the World Biathle Championships, also in Florida at the same time.

I’m just a normal 13 year old boy. I like my PS4, Instagram and iPad! But I am so lucky to have the opportunities to compete in sports that I love, with really good friends. Who knows how far I can go... But one thing is for sure – I’m going to keep working hard, trying new things, and most importantly, taking every opportunity that comes my way. I am so happy to be fit and healthy.

I would like to shout out to everyone that supports me, including my mum, dad and brother Ryan, Jan and Barry at Poole SC, Ian, Dave, Hamish and Gus at Branksome Chine SLSC, Paul and Mark at Poole AC, Mick at Dorset Pentathletes, and all my friends that make training and competing fun.”

Liam is looking for support for his sports, as all competitions are self funded. If you know of a business that might be able to help, please contact Sara Openshaw on 01202 389112 or 07815 289625.

You can also follow Liam’s progress via Twitter with @swimmer_liam. We wish him best of luck for the National Biathle!

Motoring

Auto Biographies

Suzuki SX4 S-Cross

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk

Crossovers are popular in today’s motoring marketplace. But what is a crossover? Well, it’s a sport utility vehicle (SUV) with a chassis more similar to a car than a traditional truck-based SUV. Most come with either two or four-wheel-drive, and having the fundamental elements of a car means a more contented ride.

They also tend to return better fuel economy because of lighter construction and smaller engines.

Suzuki’s SX4 S-Cross is one of the better value choices of this type of motor, although you may not have heard much about it. That’s because the Japanese automaker is a fairly small player within the UK car scene.

Suzuki punches pretty hard above its weight though and, if the S-Cross is anything to go by, the manufacturer is only going to grow in strength in Britain. It’s a well made machine, packed with equipment and, even at flagship level, it only costs £25,149.

The SX4 S-Cross’s bold and sporty design offers ample room for passengers and luggage. The front seats offer excellent support and hold you firmly in place, even on tight curves.

Behind the wheel, the instrument cluster, although surrounded by a little too much cheap looking plastic, helps you focus on driving. For instance, an outsized speedometer and tachometer border a multi information display that shows anything from fuel consumption to time and outside temperature.

High-rigidity in a car’s body is essential to handling, comfort, safety and performance. That’s why the SX4 S-Cross incorporates a large proportion of high-tensile steel for strength and lightness, helping to provide greater handling stability.

The engine options are 1.6-litre petrol and 1.6-litre diesel. I drove the latter, in top of the range SZ5 DDiS 120 guise and equipped with Suzuki’s four-wheel-drive ALLGRIP system.

The four-wheel-drive technology leaves no room for doubt that the SX4 S-Cross is the perfect fusion of family-friendliness, safety and performance. Don’t get me wrong, it’s no hardcore mudplugger, but it’ll handle dirt, grass, snow, sand and a bit more – so it’s perfect for mini-adventures.

The four-wheel-drive system is so adept because it has a variety of settings – AUTO, SPORT, SNOW and LOCK. You can select your desired mode for the terrain you find yourself on via a push and turn dial on the centre console.

It works like this: AUTO prioritises fuel economy in typical driving conditions. The system uses two-wheel-drive by default and will switch to four-wheel-drive if wheel spin is detected. The SPORT setting is best for twisty roads. It makes maximum use of fourwheel-drive in response to how hard you press the accelerator. The SNOW option is optimal for snowy, unpaved and other slippery surfaces and uses four-wheel-drive all the time. LOCK is designed for extricating the car from snow, mud or sand. It does this by distributing high turning power to the rear wheels continually.

Safety equipment hasn’t been overlooked either. Features include seven airbags for occupants and the bonnet provides impact absorption which lessens injury if the car hits a pedestrian.

In fact, the SX4 S-Cross has been rated one of Europe‘s safest cars, according to independent crash testing results from Euro NCAP, receiving the maximum five-star rating.

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS 3HUVRQDO 6DYLQJV $OORZDQFH

If you’ve got savings, next time you receive a statement expect to see something rather strange. There’s been a hidden revolution of the savings rules, and it means when you’re paid interest, from now on no tax will automatically be taken off.

It’s all due to the new Personal Savings Allowance (PSA), which launched at the start of the new tax year on 6 April.

Previously, unless you were saving in an ISA, when you earned interest, the taxman took a bite. So for every £100 interest earned as a basic-rate taxpayer, you only actually got £80 (higher rate got £60). Yet now, if you earn interest within your PSA, you get £100 and you keep £100. For a detailed Q&A on it, read www.mse.me/PSA, but here are my quick needto-knows. - All savings interest is now paid gross, i.e., no tax will be taken off. - This works for ALL interest - not just savings accounts, but bank accounts, credit unions and peer-to-peer savings. However, share dividends aren’t included. - Basic 20% rate taxpayers can earn £1,000/yr interest tax-free. - Higher 40% rate taxpayers can earn £500/yr interest tax-free. - Top 45% rate taxpayers don’t get a PSA, so all interest is taxable.

- Cash ISAs, premium bonds and other tax-free savings interest DON’T count towards the £1,000 (or £500) limit so you can get this interest too. - If you earn interest over the limit, you pay tax at your income tax rate, but only on the amount over the limit. It’s worth thinking about this for a moment. For a basic rate taxpayer, with cash in the top easy-access standard savings account, you’d need over £75,000 saved before you had to start paying tax on it. That’s why 95% of people won’t pay tax on their savings interest this year.

As for most people tax is no longer an issue with savings, where you should have your cash has changed. It’s now usually simply a question of where you can earn the most interest. So first, check your savings today and find what they earn. You’ll be shocked - rates have plummeted.

The first thing you should look at, even before saving, is clearing any expensive debt or overpaying an expensive mortgage (one where the interest rate is higher than the top rate you can earn by saving).

After that it’s a question of putting each penny where it earns the most. So here’s my savings fountain to do that. Fill up each level if you can and then move to the next (all the accounts I’ve listed have the full UK £75,000 savings safety protection).

1. Help to Buy ISA. For anyone 16+ who’s never owned a home and may want to, these are usually a no-brainer. This is because as well as interest you can use it towards a mortgage deposit and 25% is added on top, up to a maximum of a free £3,000.

The top payers are www.halifax.co.uk and www.santander. co.uk at 4%. For full help on if this is right for you, see www. mse.me/helptobuyisa 2. High-interest current account. Some accounts offer high incredit savings rates to entice switchers - it’s the only way to earn decent interest on decent amounts. The top ones are the www.Santander.co.uk 123 account paying 3% in between £3,000 and £20,000 (with a £5/mth fee, but that is often covered, as the account also pays cashback on bills) and the www.LloydsBank.com Club Lloyds account, paying 4% between £4,000 and £5,000. Others pay up to 5% interest, though on smaller amounts. For the full range and eligibility criteria see www.mse.me/topbanks 3. Regular savings. These pay high interest but only on small amounts, generally for a short time. They’re great for, er, saving regularly, but you can also trickle lump sums in there too. The top ones are linked to current accounts – 6% is possible for a year on up to £300 a month in www.Firstdirect.com’s regular saver and 4% on up to £250/month with the www.HSBC.co.uk Premier/Advance accounts. If you’ve got an M&S, Lloyds, Nationwide or Santander current account, see if one’s available to you too.

4. New £15,240 cash ISA allowance - 1.85% tax-free. A cash ISA is just a tax-free savings account and as it’s the new tax year, you’ve a new £15,240 allowance. Crucially, interest from this doesn’t count towards the £1,000 (or £500) PSA limit - so it’s good for those who’ll earn over that threshold. Yet for many there’s little point, see my www.mse.me/ISAsdead guide for when they’re still right for you. The top straightforward easy access deals are coventrybuildingsociety.com, paying 1.4% AER variable (minimum £1). If you’ve got poorly-paying old ISAs you want to transfer, the www.YBS.co.uk Triple Access Saver ISA is 1.35% but only allows you to make withdrawals on three days each year (minimum £100). You can earn more in fixed rate ISAs though, see www.mse.me/cashisas.

5. Fixed-rate savings. If you’ve got money left over, next consider whether you’re prepared to lock it away without access. If so, you can fix with a locked-in rate that’s usually higher than easy-access savings. The top straightforward 1 year deal is CharterSavingsBank.co.uk 1.91% AER (minimum £1,000) and www.sbiuk.com is 2.2% for 2 years and 2.35% for 3 (min £10k).

6. Easy-access savings. Anything now left over that you need access to can be put in here. Rates are low compared with everywhere else, but you can deposit and withdraw when you want. The top deal is www.ybs.co.uk at 1.3%, though it only allows one withdrawal per year. For unlimited withdrawals, the Income Bond from www.nsandi.com pays 1.26%, though the rate’s dropping in June, but www.sbiuk.com is 1.25%..

Adventures of Nellie

26

The Adventures of Nellie The Purbeck Publications Camper Van Family Camp with the Scouts, Cubs and Beavers! Well this was one Nellie didn’t want to miss. After all, despite her advanced years, Nellie loves running around, making a lot of noise at times (remember that exhaust…) and she loves the outdoors, so what better way to spend a weekend than with friends, learning lots of new skills and having fun. Nellie couldn’t wait.

Stephen got everything ready. He is good at that you know… it is a man’s job isn’t it? Nellie was packed with chairs, sleeping bags, blankets, Kombi, the awning, cutlery, plates (we didn’t take the kitchen sink, as Nellie already has one) and of course that all important whistling kettle and coffee. Off we set into the rolling English countryside to Sixpenny Handley which is home of 1st Woodcutts Scouts.

First things first, we had to set the awning up… so I made the coffee and supervised… You can see I have a very hands-on approach to all of this.

In fact, one of the ladies commented

The leaders do an amazing job

All set! Kombi and Nellie ready for camp

on how important my role was. I think that is what she said… The boys, alias Stephen and Hayden, did a fantastic job. We were all set up!

The leaders. Well I take my hat off to them. They do such a great job and it is all voluntary, done in their own time, to help others. There are many, many good people on this planet. There was in fact coffee and tea permanently ready and all the food was supplied so we had nothing to worry about but relax and enjoy ourselves.

The first evening was very straight forward… no challenges yet. The next day was a different story. I have to say I have never been a scout or a girl guide, so this was all new to me.

Hayden has been a member for a few years now and loves it. The skills they learn, you don’t get from anywhere else these days, so I am always impressed with what he does. However, what I didn’t realise is that on family camp… you all take part! This was new to me and Nellie really didn’t know if she

would manage. Being blindfolded, led by a young leader in the forest and detecting what was hanging from a rope, was definitely a new concept. I thought the foil was a pine cone, but that’s a mistake anyone could make, isn’t it? Then there were the knot challenges, making a tent from string, building a large catapult, drawing on a neckerchief and putting Lego together to show something from the camp.

The best part was making “smores”.

Have you ever done that? Yummmm… delicious. You melt a marshmallow on a stick over the open camp fire and then place it between two chocolate biscuits, so the chocolate melts and smothers it. How good is that! The name comes from the fact… you want s’ more! That was a challenge I could do again and again. It didn’t help the diet, but I had to do it as I didn’t want to be seen to be not taking part. You can understand that can’t you? Nellie would have eaten them all, but she wants to keep her slightly figure. I refrained from commenting.

The men did get very competitive on the catapult challenge. All that man power, wanting to catapult the furthest. It was great fun and although

Singing around the campfire

We want s’more!

we were the best (after the first go…) we were sadly beaten.

In the evening there was the traditional camp fire led by a young leader in full song. Love it! Then we all took part in horse racing. This was inside the camp hall on a projector screen attached to a computer. How exciting!

We all chose tickets hoping it was the winning horse and shouted like we could have won millions.

Getting together, having time for our own children, as well as meeting other families is just so good. With our busy lives these days we don’t do enough of it. The whole weekend was fantastic.

Nellie left in great spirits and would highly recommend scouting. Beavers start as young as six, then its Cubs form age 8 and Scouts from 10½. If you are an adult and want to help, meet others and learn new skills, why not go and be a leader, or helper. I am sure you would be welcomed with open arms.

Nellie is loving the summer and we hope you are too!

Where will she take us next…?

Banoffee Loaf

INGREDIENTS

300g plain flour (extra for dusting) 150g salted butter (extra for greasing) 175g light muscovado sugar 2 large free-range eggs 1tsp bicarbonate of soda 150m semi skimmed milk 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed 75g vanilla fudge, cut to small cubes

Preheat the oven on 180c (or Gas Mark 4). Use a 2 litre loaf tin and grease it with butter and cover lightly with flour, shaking off an excess.

In a bowl, mix together the butter and sugar using an electric whisk. Do this until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, one at a time, add the eggs and beat into the mixture. Using a sieve, sift in the flour and bicarbonate soda. Mix in while gradually adding the milk until the mixture is smooth.

Fold in the mashed bananas and the chopped fudge into the mixture. Scoop the mixture into the loaf tin and smooth down the top. Bake for one hour.

Halfway through cooking, cover the loaf with foil to stop the top from burning.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Hoarding

It’s hard to remain excited when you’ve had courgette at every meal for a week, and marvellous though raspberries are there is a limit to just how many you can eat at once. Take a bit of time to store your harvest and you can be enjoying home grown right through the winter.

Jobs for August :-

• Water regularly - try to water either in the evening or early mornings.

• If you are growing main crop potatoes, watch out for signs of blight. Brown patches on the tops and edges of leaves are usually a first sign.

• Pinch out the tops of runner bean stems that are outgrowing their supports.

• Keep harvesting those courgettes!

• Sow turnips and oriental salad plants such as Pak Choi and Chinese Cabbage • Strawberry runners that were potted up in June to produce new plants can be planted out now.

If all has gone to plan (that’s a big if!) then August should be a very satisfying month on your plot, with your hard work being repaid by ample harvests of a good range of fruit and veg.

The reality tends to be that the excitement of seeing your crops grow and ripen is initially followed by much enjoyment of the first fruits of your labour which can soon be replaced by a panic stricken ‘What the heck do I do with all these’! Certain crops (courgettes and tomatoes spring to mind) can almost guarantee this sequence of events!

Sharing with friends and neighbours is great but very often they will have a glut of exactly the same thing at just the same time. What is called for are some simple ideas for storing and preserving your produce. It may be a long time before you are harvesting fresh peas or raspberries again but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be enjoying your home grown produce throughout the winter - it just takes a little planning and now is the time to do it.

Onions (and garlic) that have been lifted and

left to dry can be plaited and hung in a cool, dry place. Net bags, or tights, also work if you don’t fancy plaiting. Potatoes can be stored in boxes or paper sacks in a dark, dry building but you should check them regularly, removing any that show signs of rotting.

A good size freezer is a real boon for making the most of your produce. Blanching and then freezing works for loads of vegetables. Key to success is to cool quickly after blanching so have a bowl of cold water at the ready and don’t forget to label what you are freezing!

Another option, and one that can work well for all those tomatoes, is to find a good recipe that you can cook, freeze and use later (how about a wonderful pasta sauce with your own tomatoes and home grown basil?). Even ‘difficult to freeze’ veg such as courgettes can either be incorporated into a sauce, or blanched, frozen and then added to a stew at a later date.

Cooking and freezing can work well for fruit too - apple or rhubarb are good stewed and frozen all ready for use in a crumble or pie. If you have a truly wonderful fruit crop then why not arm yourself with a good recipe book and get started on some jam making? It’ll be delicious on your toast in the morning, and what better gift than a pot of homemade raspberry jam?

It’s amazing how many books there are that tell you how to grow your fruit and veg, but how little information there is on just how to store it all! One wonderful little book, that deals with just this question is ‘How to store your garden produce’ by Piers Warren. It’s packed with information about how to store just about anything and a great addition to any gardeners library.

Happy harvesting!
