All the things you should be focussing on in your garden this month.

You’ve heard Steve from Wet & Forget talking on our program about Wet & Forget.
With all this rain we’ve had, paths, driveways and outdoor surfaces have become slippery and dangerous. Wet & Forget concentrate is the ultimate outdoor moss, mould, lichen and algae remover that is safe and easy to use on any exterior surface.

With all this rain about, you’re going to need eco-shield Organic Snail & Slug Killer to help keep the snails and slugs at bay….

This week in the garden it's time to prune your stone fruit, and dead-head your agapathus

Unashamedly bold, brash and beautiful; it’s time to pick armfuls of them to fill your home. We combine our dahlias with buddleias which make perfect partners, especially the new Buzz Series buddleias which never stop flowering (if you keep dead-heading).

Passionfruit are among the most productive of backyard crops, especially when the bees do their thing. Now that summer has arrived

Late September we planted our first tee pee with cucumbers, beans and a yellow cherry tomato called Honey Drop, in the centre.

It’s time to plant this tasty summer vegetable. Quick and easy to grow, zucchini take 6 weeks from seed sowing to harvest

Lilies are flowering on cue, late spring and summer. Tall, elegant lilies standing on strong stems in the back of the border and delightfully fragrant. Small varieties are fantastic in pots. Lilies love morning sunshine with protection from strong afternoon sunshine.

Hydrangea quercifolia is one of our all-time favourites! We love this beautiful hydrangea with lush curvy leaves, a similar shape to the oak (quercus), hence the name ‘oakleaf’ (quercifolia), and long graceful conical flower heads.

Blueberries are in full production at present. These pretty shrubs, with delicate, pink, bell-shaped flowers, give way to delicious purple-blue berries full of goodness and high in antioxidants.

Spring is perfect time to plant a citrus tree; lemon, lime, orange and mandarin. Not only do they look beautiful – with glossy green leaves, gorgeously fragrant spring blossom and winter fruit in warming colours that glow in winter light, but they also taste great.

For 200 years, fresh beans have been the second most popular home-grown vegetable in Australian gardens (after tomatoes). With low calories, lots of protein, fibre, and packed with vitamin C, A and K, beta-carotene, folate and potassium. But the best bit? There are varieties for every situation.
