25.01.2022 Winter is coming! Here are some tips to help get your garden ready for the cooler months. - Pot up basil to grow on an indoor windowsill. In most areas it will die of with winters arrival. - Mays the last chance to finish planting spring bulbs. - In warm, frost-free districts, cut back tibouchinas immediately after theyve finished flowering. - As soon as possible after purchasing lilium bulbs, plant them into humus-rich soil.... - When mowing, leave lawns a little longer than usual. They will cope better with the cooler conditions. - Plant out all winter/spring flower and vegetable seedlings. - In cold areas, build structures that will support frost protection (such as shadecloth or plastic covering). - Indoor chrysanthemums will last for weeks in a well-lit indoor position. They can then be planted out in the garden. - As weather cools reduce watering of indoor plants and use tepid (rather than cold) water. SEEDS TO SOW: Primula, Wallflower, Scabiosa, Broad Beans, Chinese Cabbage, Onions.

23.01.2022 Spring has arrived! A time when the weather becomes warmer, leaves and plants start to grow again and flowers appear - Be patient with broad beans. They may begin flowering but wont set fruit until temperatures are reasonably warm. - When cyclamen have finished flowering they can go outside into a sheltered, fairly dry spot. - Lettuce grows most easily during spring or autumn. It can go rapidly to seed in warm weather. - Aphids build up quickly on new rose shoots. Control ...with Rose Spray. -Sow new lawns with Tough & Hardy lawn seed and mend bare patches. - Renovate established lawns by raking out old dead plant material. - Plant warm season vegetables such as beans, tomatoes, cucurbits and eggplant. - Spread organic mulch over all garden beds. - Gain inspiration by visiting open gardens in your area. - Sheets of newspaper are wonderful for smothering weeds.

Fertilise all garden beds with dynamic lifter. - Move hanging baskets into spots that are shaded in the afternoon. - Encourage summer lettuce to grow quickly by watering each week with aquasol.

19.01.2022 Winter has arrived! Here are a few tips to help your plants survive the cold - Plant asparagus crowns in the base of a 20cm deep trench.

18.01.2022 Daylight Savings Thyme? Not only is it time to turn the clocks back this weekend, this time of year is also a good time to sort through your Sage, Oregano and Thyme. Cut out any dead wood and extract weeds that have grown around their base. Most importantly, trim off the dead flower heads to help keep the plants bushy. Dont trim too low down the stems (a light trim of the top leaves is enough) as the plants need time to recover before the cold weather arrives and small tender shoots engendered by fierce pruning wont take kindly to being bathed in frost.

18.01.2022 A bit of history for you... Red poppies are an international symbol of remembrance dating back to 1919 when the British Legion sought an emblem that would honour the dead and help the living. Usually associated with Remembrance Day 11th November, poppy wreaths are often used during Anzac services and placed around war monuments. Lest We Forget.

12.01.2022 Looking for an excuse to get out of mowing the lawn?

12.01.2022 The best time of day to water your plants during the Summer is either in the very early morning or late afternoon. If you water at night you can create fungal problems for your plants because the excess moisture isn't given a chance to evaporate. Watering in the early morning is great, as it will penetrate down through the plant and gives the plant a kick on before the heat of the day sets in.... Because plants shut down in hot temperatures and they just don't do anything, you need to water them either in the early morning or late afternoon when they are most responsive to it. You certainly shouldn't water during the middle of the day, as when it is really hot this can cause burning, particularly if you water straight over the plants. Happy watering!

11.01.2022 To all the men that play a special role of being a Dad... Happy Father's Day!

Water with a weak solution of epsom salts. - Spread snail bait amongst vulnerable plants, especially during damp weather.... - Sow sunflower seeds for cheerful summer blooms. - Sow corn into warm (more than 20 C) soil. - Lift bulbs after foliage has died down. - As spring-flowering annuals finish, clean up beds, fertilise, and build up soil for summer plantings. - Divide and re-pot cymbidium orchids into good quality orchis mix. - When planting out tomatoes, choose a spot that has not grown tomatoes for at least five years. - Feed potted plants with Organic Plant Food. - Apply Soil Wetter around established plants and shrubs.
