The July issue – the 250th! – is now on sale. Check out what’s inside and online for you this month as KG celebrates 21 years of growing.
July 2018: What’s in store?
After all the sowing and planting of previous months July gives us the opportunity to slow up a little and just get on with the lovely job of growing our crops.
Assuming the sun will shine this month we asked cookery expert Anna Pettigrew for some ideas for cooling home-made cordials; just the thing to enjoy while taking a break from the weeding. One of those uses blackcurrants as its main ingredient and starting on page 68 of the magazine you’ll find fruit expert David Patch’s own recipe for growing success with this delicious fruit.
Beans are great freezer fillers. Veg expert Rob Smith reveals his favourite varieties and offers some great growing tips, plus on page 92, Joyce Russell has a simple idea for giving these climbers the support they need.
We celebrate a milestone this month – our 250th issue – and on behalf of the team I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful support. Here’s to the next 21 years of growing delicious fresh-picked fruit and veg together!
Steve.
