Pick individual blueberries when they turn a dark blue colour. If you like a more intense flavour, leave the berries on the bush for a few days after they’ve ripen.

If you pegged down some strawberry runners last month, they should be ready to cut free from the parent plant and plant out separately.

Continue cutting out old fruited canes on raspberries.
Pick autumn raspberries.
Prune cordon and Espalier apples (water trees if necessary).
Trim and prune strawberries to stop them spreading.
Hot topics
August
Traditionally the hottest month of the year so keep your eye on your greenhouse. Open the vents regularly to allow some fresh air in and the humidity out. Also watch out for the build up of bugs.
