Fabulous fruits

- 

July is a fantastic month to enjoy homegrown fruit and plan more harvests to come.

From bold flavours to brilliant foliage, fruiting plants bring beauty and bounty to every garden.

Blueberries: colourful and nutritious

Now's the time to enjoy ripe blueberries or plant a potted bush for next year's crop. One standout variety is 'Pink Lemonade', which produces blush-pink berries and stunning autumn colour. For traditional crops, 'Bluecrop' delivers reliable yields, and 'Duke' offers early fruit with good flavour. Blueberries thrive in acidic soil, so use ericaceous compost and rainwater. Feed now with a specialist fertiliser and ensure consistent watering, especially if growing in containers.
