"In this month's GW magazine......

......Monty Don explains why gardening without chemicals is, for him, the only way to create a beautiful, well-balanced, wildlife-friendly garden."

And check out those manky, flea-bitten cabbages. Yik! I want wildlife in the countryside, not in my garden!

Simon, do you cut of the bottom branches on your tomatoes?

Monty said on Friday that's the way to get the toms ripe and concentrate growth in the fruit?

I'll do that a month or so before my first show if fruits aren't ripening. I also cut back larger leaves by half. It lets light in for ripening and increasing air circulation.
