Sunny Winter days with Spring on the horizon

I haven't posted for a while, but that's because DIG has picked up more clients for project implementation work and maintenance and of course Semester 2 of Uni has commenced.

A few quick tips for end of July and August:

For inspiration - look towards the native Dendrobium orchids which are starting to send out flower canes, and of course the Doryanthes flower spikes are starting to open up.

For jobs in your garden:

• Rose pruning time
• keep you weeds away (believe me they seem to be everywhere right now)
• keep up your garden irrigation, whether it be by drip irrigation, by hand on your allowable days or bucket. The soil will quickly dry out from here on.

Last tip - start preparing the soil for your vegie patch. Start adding manure, compost, mulch and water and start digging it in. I will provide a simple yet detailed approach to your vegie garden soon.

Keep in touch folks. Do you have any garden queries?
