Hang
Hang mosquito netting over tomatoes to protect developing fruit from fruit fly.
Flowering
Celebrate the evening flowers of queen of the night jungle cactus. For best flowering offer morning or dappled sun only, warm shade and support for the
arching stems.
Repot
Repot orchids, if you haven’t done it for a few years – get it done before Christmas.
Propagate
Propagate camellias from cuttings.
Feed
Feed frangipani and citrus now; and continue to liquid feed vegetables every two weeks for maximum yields.
Prune
Prune wisteria, bougainvillea and spring-flowering shrubs such as abelia, may bush, philadelphus and deutzia, by taking thicker branches off at ground
level. This will allow to the soft new canes to arch elegantly.
Water
Check moisture content of garden soil: water deeply, especially for tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini and roses.
Tie up
Tie up tomatoes and cucumbers as they grow.
Replant
Dig up, divide and replant large clumps of bearded iris. Don’t bury them too deep as they need the sun on their tuber roots to spur flowering. Remove dead
central roots and replant the rest into well-conditioned soil.
