IN THE GREENHOUSE
WHAT TO DO IN JULY
■ Start sowing for autumn and winter crops
■ Keep nipping side shoots from cordon tomato plants
■ Leave doors and windows open and secure them against winds
■ Shake corn stems gently so pollen falls on silks
■ Harvest regularly to keep plants producing
■ Tap pepper stems lightly to help fertilise their flowers
■ Water each day in hot weather and don’t let roots dry out
■ Peg down strawberry runners into 8cm (3in) pots to grow on
■ Thin plants out if overcrowding is likely to impact on their health
