with Peter Seabrook and Arthur Billitt at Clacks Farm Next season's flowers can be started from seed sown outdoors at this time. Pansies and delphiniums are included in today's selection. Spaces in the shrub border and rock garden will be filled by taking cuttings of lavender, rosemary, saxifrages, rock roses, pinks and other flowering subjects. Shallots are ready for harvest in the vegetable plot and fruits need summer pruning. New runners are taken from strawberries to give early fruit indoors next May. Attention is given to feeding lawns, lifting new potatoes and sowing more herbs.
