Radishes to relish • The summer radish is firmly imprinted on our minds, says Rob Smith, but don’t neglect its winter cousin – milder, bigger and more varied than you might expect

ROB’S TOP FIVE VARIETIES

Head-turning herbs • Herbs are often plonked here and there, wherever space allows, as a bit of an afterthought. But, as Benedict Vanheems argues, their well-heeled looks, seductive aroma and wildlife appeal should earn them prized position on our plots.

PICK A PECK OF PEPPERS • Whether you’re growing sweet peppers for the first time or are a seasoned devotee, avid grower Tony Flanagan has some top tips for you

Meet The Young Grower • This month we visit Ben Thornton, better known as YouTuber The Young Grower. Despite health problems Ben tends to plots in South Devon and at 25 is among a new generation of young gardeners taking up the trowel

HERB OF THE MONTH… Chervil • Chervil is a useful herb with fine, feathery leaves and subtle flavours, much loved by chefs. There is still plenty of time to sow some on your plot, says KG editor Steve Ott

Tomato talk • Stephanie Hafferty is tending to her tomatoes, with tips on preventing the risk of blight, growing new plants from pinched-out sideshoots and preserving her produce. She also shares a couple of mouthwatering recipes

BE WATER WISE • Keeping plants watered in the summer is a real labour of love for gardeners. Emma Rawlings suggests some techniques and equipment that can save you time and water

Captivating calendula • With its vibrant colours and shades, its edible flowers, its merits as a pest repellent and its medicinal properties, what’s not to love about the cheerful calendula? Annabelle Padwick discovers more
