🍓 Placing a plastic membrane around strawberry beds helps to prevent weed growth and keeps the fruits clean, resulting in a better harvest without the need for washing the strawberries.

🛠 Removing bricks from the garden can reduce slug habitats, protecting plants like brassicas, and it's recommended to use pins to secure fabric barriers instead.

🥬 Trimming the bottom leaves off brassica plants helps to minimize slug infested areas, promoting healthier plant growth and reducing the risk of pest damage.

🏗 Simple hoop structures covered with netting offer excellent protection for brassicas and can be easily constructed with garden canes, cable ties, and nails for anchoring.

🍅 To enhance tomato plant productivity, it's beneficial to trim the tops of the plants to encourage them to focus on ripening the existing fruit, especially as daylight decreases in the fall.

🌾 Using straw mulch around potato plants retains soil moisture, binds together to create a barrier against weeds, and doesn't blow away easily.

🥒 Snipping off suckers from cucumber plants encourages more fruit production, and using tomato hooks supports their growth and makes it easy to manage the plants.

🚫 It's important to avoid planting tomatoes and potatoes close to each other to prevent the spread of blight between these crops.

You should make a decision to cut off the tops of the tomato plants so the plant concentrates on ripening the existing fruit, especially if daylight is becoming scarce.
