WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING?:
Plenty of rain and a few days with heat has made things grow. Tomatoes are still slow to ripen, but the cucumbers and corgettes are over producing, It's important to keep picking, don't let them get too big, as it lessens the production, the more you pick the more they reproduce. Vege gardens are getting a replant, as the potato crop is dug, it leaves room for another batch of cabbage, cauli, broccoli for autumn maturing. We still have leeks, brussel sprouts, silverbeet and lettuce will still grow well now. Flower gardens have faded abit with last weeks heat. There's still a few petunias and marigolds probably the best to give you autumn colour. We have some good specials on trees at lorneville, mixed pallets at $50.00 and flowering agapanthus at $4.00 each. Look out next week for our wholesale sale, we have surplus stock in our nursery to clear, so look out for some good deals.
 
WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING?:
The usual mowing lawns and weeding. It's a good time to control lawn weeds now while they are doing extra well. Some shrubs need a light prune and even climbers that are extra large, need cut back. Irrigation systems are all go, ask our advise if you need help installing or repairing an existing system. We also stock a large range of sprinklers.
