Garden tips for the last week of spring

We are now in the last week of Spring. It has I guess been a typical spring with inconsistent temperature, late frosts, some dryness and then down pours of rain.

It was brilliant for the garden to have the 50mm of rain last weekend. However not so great for anyone harvesting. Here are some of my tips for the garden this week.

A Tip for the Herb Garden

Now hopefully we may have some more consistent temperatures - at least I hope we will, I am planting out my annual herbs in the veggie garden and also in some pots next to our kitchen door. I tend to plant herbs in individual pots rather than group all varieties into a bigger pot. My annual herbs are mainly coriander, basil, rocket and dill. Basil will also go in next to my tomatoes as it makes a brilliant companion plant to them.

A Tip for the Lawn

My husband and the other half of Glenice Buck Designs, Phil has completed a lawn renovation this week on our Zoysia and Kikuyu lawns. The lawn renovation season has normally well and truly started by now however the soil temps have still been quite low. You still have time. If your lawn is thick with thatch and seems very spongey it may need to be renovated. For all the tips you can go to Phil’s YouTube Channel - The Down Under Lawn.

A Tip for Watering

Check watering on all plants after windy days. We seemed to have had days of very windy conditions lately. We are yet to have really hot temperatures however on these windy days, garden beds and especially pots will dry out quickly. Be sure to check on moisture levels after the wind.
