I don't have a lot to say except everything is just growing like crazy, with the sunny days and daylight savings that we are all now benefiting from.  So get as much into your garden now as you can for summer, all I can say is at this time of year I wish my garden was bigger!

The last of beetroot are large, but now starting to go to seed so time to lift the last of the beetroot, yay, more room for other summer seedlings.

Get Celery seeds in now, I found last year a dozen did me all summer and into early autumn, as you just break off what you need, and freeze any excess, but the trick is to keep them well watered, so they remain juicy to eat.

Get seeds for cucumber into the garden now, and try all sorts from apple, telegraph, short green to Lebanese cucumbers, you can never have too much cucumber over summer.

Get seedlings in now for tomatoes and lettuces, they will double in size very quickly, make sure you put stakes next to your tomatoes for them they grow rapidly to give them support, even the dwarf tomatoes need staking I found last year.  Best to put the stakes in now while they're infants rather than stabbing them in the foot later with stakes.

My onion seeds are now starting to show bulbs at the surface, so I'm really pleased with their progress. Silver beet and spinach will love you if you plant them now and reward you by doubling in size very quickly. 

Lastly I'm so pleased cutting off all the first flowers for my strawberries in October in the hope of a more bountiful crop, is showing good signs at the moment with all my strawberries now profusely flowering - fingers crossed I guess.

Most warm weather vegetables can now be planted.

• For continuous harvesting make sowings at three weekly intervals, eg lettuce, beans and sweetcorn.
• Spray with Champ or Greenguard to guard against fungus diseases.
