Welcome to GrowCook Eat Arrange Q&A for June.

And we've got really interesting questions which we're going to answer.

And the first one is, of course, June is the month of roses.

And Josie is the rose queen of this place.

So I'm handing to her, what should you be doing to

maintain your roses to look as wonderful as they possibly can? Thank you for the accolade.

So roses, yes, they are at their glorious best now. So you've got to keep on top of deadheading

them, really. Hopefully you've got remontent roses, which means they'll re-flower through the year.

So keep on top of deadheading them, especially if we have quite a bit of rain.

They soon go brown, so you want to take all that off.

And just be aware if they're, if they're hip form hip form as summer hip form as an only flower ones

you know definitely don't dead head those otherwise you lose all your hips obviously yeah

yeah and once they flowering will tail off a little bit once they've had their first flush

and then if if you feed your roses you can give them

an extra feed now we tend not to do that because we mulch our roses before they start into growth

in March so we give them a good organic mulch in March and that lasts them through the whole season

but I know some people do like to feed again after the first flush. So June is the

time to do that. Okay, great. And then of course, we always plant our, underplant our roses with

salvi so you haven't done that in May because they're tender. We would put them out in early June

and that will keep them black spot and meal due free. But we've done various podcasts on that, so you can definitely look that up on the website.

So the next question was, what are you harvesting to eat at this time of year?

So I think of June is the first real bountiful month of the summer.
