Gardening jobs for the weekend

Brian Kidd has some top tips on how to keep your greenhouse fuchsias looking great.

Sow seeds of petunias in a seed tray in the greenhouse. Avoid cheap bedding mixed types and try a F1 hybrid for best results. You should hopefully get bushy plants which won’t go spindly.

Bend over the tips of summer-fruiting raspberry canes to prevent them becoming tall. This will also increase your crop by at least 10 per cent.
