IT’S CZECH MATE D.T. Brown Seeds has teamed up with the Isle of Wight Garlic Farm to launch a new and exclusive garlic for autumn 2018.

‘Czech Mate’ is a hardneck garlic from Moravia in the Czech Republic. An autumn planting variety (best planted in October but before January at the latest), it has a glazed, purple skin which thinly veils a beautifully striped purple bulb underneath. Hot and spicy, it is said to deliver a stronger flavour than most other UK garlics.

GARDENING KNOWLEDGE DEFICIT Research undertaken by garden tool company Gardena (www.gardena.co.uk) has revealed a crisis of knowledge among UK gardeners.

While gardening remains a much-loved pastime for 83% of Brits, many are completely clueless, with 89% admitting they lack confidence in at least one area of gardening.

Lawn maintenance was cited as the biggest problem area for almost a third (29%) of Brits, followed by soil and

ground work (23%), and a fifth of Brits (19%) felt at a complete loss when it came to knowing when to plant or pick things in the garden.

Despite this crisis of confidence and knowledge – gardening is still a much loved hobby for a third (34%) of Brits, with 83% saying they ‘like gardening’. Half of those questioned consider gardening as the perfect way to unwind and more than one in five (22%) even use it as a workout.

COLON CANCER PREVENTION

Recent research from the Francis Crick Institute, London, suggests that che micals in vegetables such as kale, cabbage and broccoli, could help to maintain a healthy gut and prevent colon cancer.

The research found that mic e fed on a diet rich in indole-3-carbinol (produc ed when we digest brassicas) were protected from gut inflammation and colon cancer.

WHAT’S NEW?

NEW APP FOR HEALTHY EATING A new app developed by Aston, Loughborough and De Montfort Universities, aims to encourage children to eat more vegetables.

Vegetable Maths Masters is a game designed for children between the ages of three and seven years old, enabling them to practise core maths skills.

Depending on the child’s age, they can count with vegetables, draw numbers with vegetables, add/ subtract with vegetables and practise multiplication and division skills.

Dr Claire Farrow of Aston University said: “We have developed an app which draws on psychological research to integrate different methods known to increase interest in vegetables and eagerness to try them.

“These include repeated exposure to real images of vegetables, token rewards for playing with vegetables and ‘feeding’ them to other children/characters.”

Find out more here: www.vegetable mathsmasters.co.uk

BEING LESS PICKY

A new study from Edinburgh University states that more than one-third of farmed fruit and vegetables never reaches the supermarket shelves because it’s either the wrong size or the wrong shape in line with consumer expectations.

Stephen Porter, of the University of Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences, said: “Encouraging people to be less picky about how their fruit and vegetables look could go a long way to cutting waste, reducing the impact of food production on the climate, and easing the food supply chain.”

Professor David Reay added: “The scale of food that is wasted when it is perfectly safe to eat is shocking at a time when one-tenth of the world’s population is perpetually underfed.”

STAYCATION FUELS SEED SALES

It has been a record year for Suffolk mail order seed specialists D.T. Brown. Sales performance was strong across a number of product categories, with vegetable seeds, seed potatoes and vegetable plants experiencing significant growth compared to last year.

D.T. Brown’s Tim Jeffries thinks that wider gardening trends played an important part in their success: “We’ve definitely seen an uplift in gardeners wanting to grow vegetables and fruit this season. We think that rising food prices and more people enjoying a ‘staycation’ this year has motivated gardeners to get sowing and growing.”

Top-selling new vegetable seed varieties included blight-resistant tomato ‘Mountain Magic F1’, exclusive monster Halloween pumpkin 'Wicked F1’, sweetcorn 'Amaize F1’ (a super sweet variety), and chilli pepper ‘Trinidad Perfume’, which has the intense flavour of a habanero but with none of the heat.

PUMPKIN PUDSEY!

EXPECT HOT SUMMERS TO 2022 Florian Sevellec, an associate professor in Ocean Physics at the University of Southampton, is predicting that “extreme warm events” like the ones we experienced last summer are probable until 2022. This will be a consequence of man-made global warning combining with natural climatic variations. Sevellec said: “This means that warm years are more likely than cold years for the period 20182022. Indeed our research showed that over the next two years it is 64% likely to be anomalously warm.”

Suffolk seed company Mr Fothergill’s has announced a new partnership with BBC Children in Need to launch two seed packets for children – Sunflower Pudsey and Pumpkin Pudsey. 30p from each packet sold will benefit BBC Children in Need.

The packets have an RRP of £1.99 each and feature the familiar Pudsey Bear character. www.mr-fothergills.co.uk

If you’re looking for something vibrant and colour-gorgeous, you’ll just love zinnias, says Tony Flanagan

M

y daughter always tells me to grow ‘proper flowers’ by which she means ones that are relatively tall with ‘in your face’ blooms as it were. Nothing understated. One that fits perfectly into this category is Zinnia elegans, which grows to about 30-100cm (12-39in) – depending on variety – and produces blooms just bursting with colour.

There are several species of zinnia – some with much smaller flowers and low growing – but Zinnia elegans is one that will create an immediate sense of summer to any garden or veg patch, is super as a cut flower, and pollinators love it!

And even within the Zinnia elegans spectrum, there is a range of flowerhead formations, including single, semi-double and double (in cactus and pompom forms like dahlias).

SOWING

Zinnias are annuals so you will need to grow fresh plants each year. Sow seeds in situ April-May in well-draining, fine-tilth soil and 18 | NOVEMBER 2018

preferably in a sunny spot, 0.5cm (¼in) deep, 10cm (4in) apart, in rows 30cm (12in) apart.

As the seedlings become established, thin to 30cm (12in) apart.

Alternatively, start them off in coir pots and then plant them along with the pots, thereby minimising root disturbance.

AFTERCARE

Little maintenance is required with zinnias – just keep them weed free and well watered.

The taller varieties may need staking, especially if you have a garden or plot exposed to the wind. Zinnias flower July-September but keep dead-heading faded flower heads to encourage more blooms.

FOR CUTTING

Cut when it’s cooler and have a bucket of cold water on hand to pop them into.

Single flowerheads are As zinnias have hollow best for pollinators stems, they are more suited as they offer easier to loose arrangements than access to pollen with the stems bound together. and nectar.

They can last for over a week in a vase. ■ www.kitchengarden.co.uk

We meet Mike Hurdiss a top blogger from the world-wide web who has four allotments covering a quarter of an acre A fine crop of elephant garlic

An overview of Mike’s growing area

How long have you been growing and what got you interested in the hobby?

I started growing about 10 years ago in the back garden at home. My youngest daughter Olivia was about 10 at the time and talked me into building a few raised beds. We grew salads and onions. We also had a few pots of tomatoes on the patio. After a year or two my daughter’s interest waned but by then I was hooked. Blight kept getting the better of my patio toms so I committed to buying a greenhouse. One greenhouse became two and the garden soon began to look like a mini market garden. So five years ago I started to look for an allotment.

How many plots do have and do you ever struggle to take care of them all?

I have four plots that cover a quarter of an acre. I never dreamed when I took on the first plot that I would end up with four. The first year went well and I structured the plot in a traditional way with four large beds so that I could rotate what I grew. It soon became clear that I’d need more space if I wanted to grow a wider variety of veg and fruit too. As luck would have it, part way through my second year the neighbouring double plot became free. My imagination ran riot and I could see the potential for a small orchard,, flowers and soft fruit.

DO YOU TEND TO THE PLOT ALONE OR IS IT A FAMILY AFFAIR? I do have a cousin who helps out when he’s able to. He had an allotment of his own some 30 years ago and so his experience was very helpful when I took on the plot. He played a big part in helping me to clear plots and still helps out with plot maintenance. He has a passion for growing flowers and this has rubbed off on me and influenced how I’ve developed the allotment. I deal with most of the sowing and planting out and take care of four large greenhouses.

Mike’s cousin helps out on the allotments and his passion for flowers has rubbed off on Mike

letting your climbing veg ramble through a shrub or up a climbing rose.

One way I love to grow is with tunnels of veg, and I don’t mean polytunnels! Basically I put tunnel supports over paths from one bed to the other, creating a walkway you can still walk through, yet your veg can climb up it and over your head. In this way you are using the space of the path without actually encroaching on it physically! I like to use this for tall peas such as ‘Blauschokker’ or ‘Champion of England’ (where extra height is needed) or you could use it for squash and courgette varieties which are suitable for growing vertically; ‘Honey Boat’ and ‘Black Forest’ work well for this. ➤ NOVEMBER 2018 | 31

Relaxing with a soothing cuppa is a great way to unwind and making one is a good excuse to take time out from the digging. But some herbal teas can offer additional benefits, says KG editor, Steve Ott

FENNEL SEEDS (Foeniculum vulgare) The herb fennel is easy to grow and will often self-seed around the garden. It is a perennial, so once planted will come up each year and is much-loved by bees and hoverflies.

Give it a sunny, warm spot in impoverished soil and it will thrive with very little care and attention and is very drought tolerant. All parts are edible and can be used in an infusion, but it is the seeds that are mostly used.

Collect the seeds once the flowerheads are ripe by snipping off the heads and placing them upside down in a paper bag.

Once dry they can be stored in a glass jar.

USES

Fennel seed tea (the seeds can be used crushed or whole) is said to be great for the digestion and for heartburn, bloating and flatulence, but with its gentle aniseed flavour it is just a pleasant tea to relax with after a meal.

I

love this time of year as the allotment has a vast array of produce as the late summer crops ease into the autumn.

It is that perfect time to think of pickles and chutneys, so that all the season’s hard work does not go to waste and you have some delicious treats in the cupboard as the winter nights draw in.

There are two pickles I grew up on and I can’t live without a jar or two of them in the cupboard all year round: a sharp, spicy mustard piccalilli and a traditional sweet and rich ploughman’s pickle.

With no-dig gardening becoming ever more popular you might wonder if the days of the humble garden fork and spade are numbered. Not so, says KG editor Steve Ott

48 | NOVEMBER 2018

W

hether you are a fervent nodigger or love to take to the plot every autumn to turn the soil, you’ll need some digging tools.

This is because the basic kit of a digging fork and spade have so many uses around the garden apart from turning the soil – planting, spreading manure, weeding, raking, levelling, digging holes for constructing new garden features and fences – the list goes on. Of course, it doesn’t stop there – lots of variations on the spade and fork for specialist or more delicate (or heavier) tasks are available. But it’s easy to rush in and to either spend more money than you need to in buying overpriced tools or inappropriate ones that then just clog up the shed for years to come.

Obvious to say, but digging – for whatever reason you might be doing it – is hard work and your tools should be comfortable enough so that before long they become an extension of yourself, natural to use and balanced for minimum effort and strain and maximum effect.

I had a fork and spade set given to me as a present about 30 years ago and instantly took to them. I was heartbroken when the spade eventually broke and instantly regretted it when I threw it away on impulse one day instead of repairing it. It took me some time to find an equally suitable replacement and this highlights just how important it is to take your time and to find the right tool for you. www.kitchengarden.co.uk

If you’ve enjoyed your summer radishes, don’t stop there, says Tony Flanagan. Prolong the pleasure by growing some winter ones too ‘Red Flesh’, a round variety with a colourful flesh within

W

inter radishes are much larger than their summer cousins and generally milder in flavour. They are perfect for an autumn/winter crop when veg on the plot is less abundant.

Varieties differ in shape, size and colour.

Mooli (also known as ‘Daikon’) types have oriental origins and are long, white and chunky.

But there are also round varieties such as ‘Red Flesh’, white on the outside but with a red-purple centre turning green as it radiates outwards towards the skin.

Like summer radishes, winter radishes belong to the brassica family (cabbages, kale and cauliflower, etc.) and are rich in vitamin C. They have several health benefits, including an aid to good digestion.

SOWING

Sow directly into fertile, well-draining soil July-August, 1cm (½in) deep in drills 15cm (6in) apart. When seedlings emerge, thin to 10cm (4in) between each plant. You can sow them earlier but they are prone to bolting in warm weather, especially if watering is intermittent. Seeds can also be sown in pots and containers (deep ones for longer varieties) for small-space growing.
