GARDENING DIARY "A dripping June brings all in tune" Gardeners and farmers alike are hoping the proverb cited above comes to pass, as we have now had nearly two months with no appreciable rainfall. It will come of course, and the way our weather seems nowadays, it will probably mean twelve weeks' worth in a morning. And on the first morning of Wimbledon, no doubt.

We have here repeated the opening paragraph of last June's diary; dry Springtimes are recurring ever more frequently. Plentiful water butts seem the order of the day.

June is one of the more pleasing months of the gardener's year; The blooms of spring may have faded but in their place is a wealth of summer blossom.

By mid-month we may give in the urge to drive the mower over the old daffodil foliage, this two month stay of execution will help the bulbs build up for next winter.

The season of the sucking and biting pests is in full swing so to allow for a good night's sleep, the diligent gardener must wage unceasing war on insect pests.

If aphides and caterpillars are allowed to multiply unchecked they will wreak havoc in the flower garden and amongst the vegetable and fruit crops. Straightforward washing-up liquid and water in a spray bottle will work for aphids and the collecting of caterpillars may be profitably delegated to the underemployed youths and children we may uncover about the house.

It is at this time of year that the benefits of that deep and thorough winter digging begin to show; drought has nothing like the same effect on thoroughly prepared ground as it has on shallow soil hastily dug to the depth of a mere few inches.

Planting-out of summer bedding may be carried on, room for growth should be allowed when planting, water until established.

Our minds may now be turning towards displays for next spring. Wallflowers, fox gloves, sweet william, forget-me-nots and canterbury bells may be sown now in finely prepared beds to give them as long as possible to grow before planting out in autumn. Staking and tying and the feeding of plants that are actually in bud and bloom are other tasks which demand our attention; A heavy June downpour will quickly lay any tall plants face down and spread-eagled across the lawn, always a chastening sight.

Be alert to suckers growing from the bases of roses, they usually have more thorn and leaf than an ordinary stem and should be removed on sight.

18

ADVERTISING ENQUIRIES HEATHFIELDTOWNDIARY@GMAIL.COM

GARDENING DIARY

We may not be afeard to thin out crowded stems of such plants as Rudbeckia, Helianthus, Michaelmas Daisies, Phloxes and Solidagos. A few strong stems will make a far better display than overcrowded clumps.

No faded flower heads should be allowed to remain on Rhododendrons and Azaeleas, snapping them off above the foliage will free the new growth and the buds will thus be freed from restraint and begin at once to grow vigorously.

Yellowing leaves on the aforesaid plants may indicate a liming of the soil which should be corrected with an acidifier. Any black bristly buds that won't open must be removed and burnt. Old Paeony flowers should also be removed, though one may wish to keep a few seed pods on the old types which make useful material for dried-flower displays at Christmas.

In the vegetable garden we may continue to remove all unwanted runners in the strawberry bed. Seeds of French and runner beans may still be sown, that deep trench of organic matter the reader dug in some months ago will pay back with a heavy crop. Lettuce, radishes and spinach can still be sown for succession.

Maincrop Turnips and Swedes around the middle of the month. Plant brussel sprouts, broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflowers, sprouting broccoli and savoys as the ground becomes available. Continue with the thinning of previously sown crops; overcrowding in the nursery bed will produce thin and straggling specimens which will never regain their figures. Earth-up Potatoes little and often, as growth proceeds.

We should cease cutting Asparagus around the middle of the month and give the bed some nourishment to encourage strong top growth of the remaining stems.

That hoe should be stirring the soil from time to time to break up any panned surfaces and keep the soil from drying out and baking hard. No Hoers' Elbow please.

During the summer months plants in pots should be watered every day, regardless of the weather and given a liquid feed once a week.

If we have kept up to speed with jobs through winter and spring we should soon have a thoroughly effulgent garden, one fit to make our neighbours green with envy, calling for just some minor daily pottering, so allowing us the time to enjoy long pipes in the sunshine, listening to the summer noises of bees buzzing at safe distance and on the wireless the happy sound of both Indian and West Indian wickets a-falling.

NEWS FROM NUS GHANI I’m incredibly proud that Sussex Weald is home to such a huge variety of unique, award-winning, globally reaching businesses, which are the backbone of our economy and key providers of valuable job opportunities.

I continue working with the Crowborough, Hailsham and Heathfield Chambers of Commerce and meet their representatives regularly to discuss what more can be done to support our local entrepreneurs. In April, I was delighted to join Crowborough Mayor Cllr Matthew Street and Crowborough and District Chamber of Commerce President Louise Harrington in opening the Crowborough Business Expo, which is an annual event hosted by the Crowborough and District Chamber of Commerce. This year, it brought together a diverse range of local service providers, charities and businesses of all sizes, old and new, for an opportunity to promote their work to the local community, network and connect with potential customers.

It was great to see so many local companies and charities getting involved, many of whom I’ve been working with closely for years.

I’m always amazed by the expertise of our local businesses, who not only supply domestically, but also export their unique products overseas and contribute a great deal to international markets and advanced manufacturing supply chain. At the Business Expo, there were over 35 businesses present, many of whom spoke to me or have been in touch since to share concerns about the recent announcement by President Trump’s administration to impose a new tariff regime on UK-made products.

I know from casework and in-person meetings and surgeries that this issue is hugely important and worrying to our local businesses, for many of whom the United States is a key export market. I appreciate that the situation is fluid and that since the initial announcement, the imposition of these tariffs has been paused for 90 days. However, I recognise that if resumed, the new tariff regime would have a devastating impact on some of our small local companies and lead to job losses and risk of closures.

I continue to follow the matter closely and continue to provide support on individual cases, but additionally, I would also like to encourage all local businesses who may be impacted by potential tariffs to let me know via a platform on my website: www. nusghani.org.uk/tariffs.

Nurturing Well-Being in June As June arrives, nature bursts into full bloom in East Sussex.

The long, light-filled days invite us to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect, not only with the land around us but with ourselves. This is a beautiful time to reawaken our sense of balance and vitality.

At Nook and Nourish, we believe that true health is about wholeness, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. June is the perfect month to align with the natural energy of growth and renewal. Whether it’s an early morning walk along our beautiful cuckoo trail or further afield on the South Downs, a mindful breath in the garden, or simply sipping tea in silence, this season encourages us to slow down and listen to our bodies.

Many of us carry hidden stress or unspoken grief, which can manifest physically and emotionally. That’s why our approach blends fascia release, breathwork, movement, and somatic work, supporting the nervous system in feeling safe enough to soften, stretch, and heal. We know healing doesn’t always come from ‘doing more,’ but often from doing differently.

This June, lets focus on nourishment, we’re offering walk and talk in the woods, morning meditations, fascial maneuvres for movement and stress release, small group sessions and one-to-ones in our peaceful studio at Burnt Oak Farm, a space to pause, reset, and reconnect with your strength. Whether you’re navigating change, rebuilding after challenge, or simply seeking space to breathe, you’re warmly welcome at Nook and Nourish.

Let’s take this month to honour the light, the growth, and the healing that’s possible; together.

Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council News from Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council We hope everyone had a fantastic time on Saturday, 3rd May, as we came together to celebrate VE80. It was wonderful to see so many residents joining in to mark this historic milestone.

The celebrations began with a delightful performance from My Favourite Things, whose vintage songs set the perfect tone for the day.

Our talented local band, The Tannens, followed with a brilliant set, including their updated rendition of Elmer’s Tune, made famous by Glenn Miller during WWII — we’re excited to see them again at Le Marché later this year!

The day continued with a fabulous Whitney tribute act, an energetic performance from the Heathfield Youth Drama Club, and a fantastic finale by Small Talk, who closed the event with some absolute classics.

There were smiles all around as families enjoyed the vintage rides, face painting, and the magical antics of Marco the Magician.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success — from Heathfield Rotary Club, always ready to provide marshals, to Heathfield District Bonfire Society for organising the dog show and bar. Events like these simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of our amazing community.

If you have any feedback on the event, we’d love to hear from you to help us improve future celebrations.

Please email us at info@hwpc.org.uk.

Thank you once again!

If you ever have any questions or concerns that you would like to raise with the Parish Council please do not hesitate to ring or email us, our details appear below.
