Welcome and thanks for all your positive feedback for our new magazine Your Garden.
Launched across Australia, Your Garden attracted thousands of readers, flying off supermarket and newsagent shelves and confirming the huge demand for an inspiring, high-quality Australian gardening publication. For those who missed out, we recommend buy and subscribe today.
Not only did we welcome our new magazine, but our wonderful editor, Tammy Huynh, and her partner also celebrated the arrival of a thriving seedling, Ayla Rose. Congratulations, all are in full bloom!
Now to your garden. Autumn is thebest time to plant trees, shrubs, a new lawn, and seasonal bulbs, flowers, herbs and vegetables. Warm soils after summer encourage root growth but lower night-time temperatures reduce pressure on plants to produce new foliage, all greatly aiding your success. Also in this autumn issue, we continue our practical stories by helping you save money when buying roses—now is the time to order your bare-rooted favourites. And avid plant collector, Steve Falcioni, also explores planting spring bulbs now with creative ways to display them.
As Australia pauses to reflect on Anzac Day, my broadcast colleague, Gareth McCray OAM, joins me to remember those who served. He reveals the intriguing story of how a sprig of rosemary arrived here from Gallipoli during WWII, and we offer tips on growing this iconic herb. And how to make the classic biscuits.
Meanwhile, pesky weeds will go from your lawn with our table of timely controls, putting your green sward ahead of the rest. Plus, our clever look at courtyard design ideas will inspire you to create outdoor living tranquility. And celebrate your FREE carrot seeds from Mr Fothergill's, enjoy a mighty harvest and be inspired by our recipes to cook delicious dishes. There’s so much to enjoy in this informative seasonal read.
Good gardening and go safely,
