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.

The Trouble with Medicine
Each year medicine gets more expensive - last year the NHS cost us over £6,000-million. Yet more money does not seem to bring better health. Today a middle-aged man has little greater expectancy of life than his great-great grandfather 100 years ago. Medicine has failed to conquer diseases like cancer and heart disease which continue to increase. Tonight's programme examines some wide-ranging criticisms of medicine now being voiced within the medical profession. It is claimed that doctors often place too much reliance on high technology and that many medical procedures are not properly evaluated. There are serious doubts about the effectiveness of treatments, from the care of the new-born to the use of drugs for the elderly. It is argued that in the past medicine has played a much smaller part in conquering disease than is generally assumed, and if the health problems of today are to be overcome, the role of medicine wiU have to be redefined.
