✅ Harvest peas early – Sow in April for a June-July harvest before the heat of summer
✅ Vertically support – Save space by training cucumbers and peas to climb
✅ Harvest regularly – The more you pick cucumbers and peas, the more they produce
✅ Grow herbs in pots – Dill, chives and parsley thrive in containers
✅ Freeze your herbs – Chop and freeze in olive oil or butter for winter
✅ Staggered sowing – Dill: sow every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvesting
