DECEMBER IN THE GARDEN’17

It’s already December – how did that happen!? 

Summer is in full swing, Christmas is around the corner and temperatures are soaring. 

Tip for the month:

We’re also in stage 3 water restrictions, so unless you’re watering your garden creatively with buckets from your showers and sinks, starting a full garden now may not be the wisest choice. 

However, there’s nothing stopping you from starting to choose creative water recycling methods, or starting a smaller pot or two of your favourite herbs or veggies. 

Let us know on our Facebook Group how you’re saving water.

December’s plant list: 
Amaranth, Basil, Bush and Climbing beans, Beetroot, Butternut, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Carrot, Chard, Cape Gooseberry, Celery, Chives, Chilli, Cucumber, Eggplant, Kale, Kohlrabi, Ginger, Globe Artichoke, Leek, Leaf Mustard, Lettuce, Jerusalem artichokes, Onion, Parsnip, Parsley, Peas, Potato, Pumpkin, Radish, Rhubarb, Sweetcorn, Sweet pepper, Sweet potato, Turnip, Tomato, Watercress, Watermelon, Zucchini. Don’t forget all the herbs!

I would usually say happy planting, but more importantly – concerted and committed water saving to us all!
