AUGUST IN THE GARDEN

It’s hard to believe it’s August already! The months of lockdown in various stages have made time feel like it’s blurring, haven’t they?

Watching the seasons offers a more natural rhythm to time. The rain, wind and sun come and go, and the temperatures rise and drop. 

We’ve been able to celebrate wonderful rain this Winter, and here’s hoping there’s more in store over the coming months. It’s such a relief to know that our dams and tanks are in better shape than a few years ago. 

For those keen on planting, the plant list expands as things slowly start warming up.

Here’s the plant list:

Basil, Broad Beans, Beetroot, Butternut, Cape Gooseberry, Cauliflower, Carrots, Chard/Spinach, Celery, Chives, Chilli Pepper, Cucumber, Eggplant, Kale, Kohlrabi, Globe Artichokes, Leek, Leaf Mustard, Lettuce, Onion, Parsley, Parsnip, Peas, Potato, Pumpkin, Radish, Rhubarb, Sweetcorn, Sweet Pepper, Turnip, Tomato, Watercress, Watermelon

Happy growing!
