Well - it is time to cut back a few veggies to encourage really good root growth. I am talking about potatoes and carrots. If you trim off potato flowers now, the plant will send more energy into making potatoes. Simple and easy - just pinch off the blooms.
Carrots will form small twisted roots if they are not thinned properly so get out there and start "harvesting" the small carrots right now by thinning out the rows. Leave up to a cm between carrots when the final ones are thinned.
Trim off the curlicue flowers forming on garlic now to encourage bigger garlic cloves (see photo)
PS Check the Calgary Herald this friday for more work to do this time of year.
PPS And pick your peas! You'll get more if you pick them as they form
