"Touch wood" all danger of frost has now passed for the vast majority of the UK so your first indoor sowing of French Beans can now be transplanted outside.

Continue to feed your potatoes with tomato feed every other week. Radishes are quick growing salad vegetables and should be a very reasonable size by now for harvesting.

PLANT OUT FIRST SOWING OF FRENCH BEANS
In most areas of the UK all danger of frost has now passed so it's time to plant your French Beans out in your raised bed. Hollow out a hole in the raised bed about the size of the pot, turn the pot over and empty the French Bean plant and compost into your hand. Place it in the hole and fill around with soil from the raised bed. Water well. Spacing between plants should be about 15cm / 6in.

HARVEST SUMMER RADISH
As you harvest your summer radishes it's perfectly OK to sow more radish seeds in the vacant spaces. Radish don't appreciate really hot weather conditions so they may not be quite as tasty as those sown a week or so previously but if weather is cool they will be perfect.
