Tea - Kānuka A New Zealand Native

Three gardening periods this week

Barron - 1st-3rd May - avoid planting. “Spoil your soil with goodness”

Sow Root Crops 4th & 5th

In temperate climates sow radish, onions, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, and try ginger too. 

In frosty zones sow radish, swedes Jerusalem artichoke, and turnips.

Cultivate period 6th - 9th Just do a few odd jobs - store away hoses and protect water timers if you intend leaving them in situ over winter, they will explode if frost gets to them, so cover with a box or some sacks.

We update you on your winter compost methods.
