13.01.2022 When planting your veggie garden , please stagger your plantings , every two weeks so that you wont have everything being harvested on the one day. Ps dont forget to companion plant , to keep the bugs at bay. #companionplant #seedlings #veggieseedlings

08.01.2022 What are you doing this weekend

08.01.2022 Growing Sweet potatoes can be fun . Put a sweet potato in some water wait for it to shoot , then remove the shoots and plant them straight into some soil and in a short time you will be harvesting your very own sweet potatoes dont forget the leaves are also edible , steamed or in a stir fry . #sweetpotatoes #veggiegardens ps please be warned sweet potatoes can take over your garden if you dont keep them under control, by cutting them back .

06.01.2022 The wonderful things you find in your own back yard.

06.01.2022 With only 6 weeks until Easter why not think about that DIY job you could do over that weekend , or book in a professional. Check out the range at work and get your orders in. #retainingwalls #retainingwall #bainesmasonry #landscapingideas #landscapingprofessional @ Albion Park, New South Wales, Australia

05.01.2022 Cannot believe its been 4 years last January, when we went to River Cottage Australia , great time had by all.

04.01.2022 Love life ,when spring shows you what Mother Nature is all about .

04.01.2022 Just waiting on spring to arrive so these viburnums can be planted in the garden. #hedges #viburnum #spring #springgardening @ Albion Park, New South Wales, Australia

04.01.2022 When planting your seedlings dont forget to stagger your planting every two weeks, so you dont have everything being harvest on the one day .

03.01.2022 Dont forget as the water restrictions change this Sunday, its time to look at getting your lawn improved for Autumn . Here are some great products we sell at work. Please note I have added in what you can do and cant do, when the restrictions change. What level 1 water restrictions mean for you YOU CAN:... water your garden with a hand-held hose before 10am or after 4pm fill new or renovated pools and spas, however youll need a permit to fill pools and spas over 10,000L wash vehicles, boats and buildings using a hose with a trigger nozzle or high pressure cleaning equipment YOU CANT: hose hard surfaces except spot cleaning for health and safety reasons using a hose with a trigger nozzle leave hoses unattended except when filling a pool use sprinklers and watering systems except for drip irrigation or smart watering systems

02.01.2022 Why not try to make a no dig garden bed this weekend. If you are not too sure about it , just ask me a question.

02.01.2022 With Anzac Day only a week away , I have started to prepare my garlic for planting. By soaking my garlic on wet paper towel it starts the roots and shoots to emerge making it easy for you to plant . Dont forget garlic is slow to grow,taking around 7 months to bulb up , harvest around Remembrance Day in November. So get started today.

02.01.2022 As the summer season ends and all your chilis are ripening, dont forget you can freeze them. Dont remove your plants when they have finished as the will come back in spring and reward you again .

01.01.2022 Back to basics , so why not try gardening. Your out side in the fresh air and sunshine and you will feel good .

01.01.2022 Callistemon viminalis #bottlebrush grown from seed , only 5 months and most are around 15 cms already. @ Albion Park, New South Wales, Australia
