Guida e kopshtarisë në korrik

Korriku është kur puna e vështirë e bërë gjatë muajve të mëparshëm jep frytet fjalë për fjalë (dhe perime). Me të dyja këto në mendje e kthejmë vëmendjen te domatja. A është një frut? A është një perime? Domatja nuk është e vetme në patëllxhanët e saj mister, speca zile, kastravecat, courgettes and pumpkin are just as enigmatic. Scientists regard them as fruits and cooks treat them as vegetables. However you define them, there are plenty of all of these in the garden this month. Make sure to stake your tomato plants as they will need support. Water the ground around the roots, not the plant. Tomato leaves hate getting wet. Feed all crops with an all-purpose fertiliser. Pick your cucumbers and marrows as soon as they start appearing as this will encourage more to come. Pick, dry and freeze herbs for later in the year. Keep pulling your rhubarb as by next month it will be just a memory. Plant second cropping potatoes now in anticipation of new potatoes at Christmas.

A world without tomatoes is like a string quartet without violins.
Laurie Colwin

The glowing Ruby should adorn
Those who in warm July are born,
Then will they be exempt and free
From love’s doubt and anxiety.

It will not always be summer: build barns.
