Time to plant out your summer love-apples

Article Abstract:

The tomato is a very rewarding vegetable to grow, especially as home-grown tomatoes generally taste much better than those on sale in supermarkets. Tomatoes can be grown in a number of different ways, including in a heated or unheated greenhouse or outdoors in containers, growing bags or the open ground. The best tomato varieties for cordon growing are 'Alicante,' 'Sungold' and 'Tigerella,' while the best bush cultivars include 'Red Alert' and 'The Amateur.'

The shrubbery that's good enough to eat

Article Abstract:

There are a number of ornamental shrubs that produce fruits and berries. These include Berberis (barberry), Crataegus (hawthorn) and Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen). It is also worth considering the Elaeagnus family of shrubs. Elaeagnus macrophylla, an evergreen, produces red fruits in Apr, while Quicksilver, a suckering, deciduous shrub, is extremely hardy in harsh conditions and produces yellow, scented flowers in summer.

A real sight for sore eyes

Gardeners in the UK have few winter-flowering shrubs to choose from. They include Cornus mas, the cornelian cherry, which is best grown as a specimen shrub or small tree, and Daphne mezereum, which only grows to around 1 mt tall.
