Spring has gone - Now the Real Garden Work Starts - save Money!

Spring has gone

By now gardeners in Tasman and Nelson you should have some Tomato plants growing and Labour Weekend is usually a good time to plant them out.


Other things to plant or sow seeds are sweet corn, beans, cucumbers, pumpkins and eggplants.


All the brassica seedlings can go in now: broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale etc.


You can start kumara shoots in water.


Lay straw around strawberry plants and weed the garlic and I put straw around these as well as they don’t like weeds.


Don’t forget to put some seeds in of basil and plant other herbs.


Feed your lemon trees and a bit of lime twice a year they will love for it.


Put your bulbs in: Lillies and Dalias.
