🌿 Weekend Tips from Tess: End of September Garden Tasks! 🌿
As September comes to a close, it’s time to get your garden ready for a productive spring and summer season. Here’s what to focus on this weekend:
1. Prepare Your Veggie Garden: Now’s the perfect time to plant snow peas, onions, radishes, and herbs. In warmer areas, you can start planting capsicum, zucchini, and tomatoes. For cooler spots, try planting in trays first.
2. Tend to Your Lawn: After the winter rains, your lawn is likely in need of a nutrient boost. Fertilise it now to help it green up and grow strong throughout spring. Look out for patches that need extra attention.
3. Flower Garden Prep: Time to plant summer flowers like petunias, geraniums, and daisies! Don’t forget to stake larger plants like dahlias and delphiniums before they start growing tall to prevent them from flopping over.
4. Keep Pests at Bay: As temperatures rise, pests like slugs and snails will become more active. Protect your seedlings with natural traps or slug bait to keep your garden healthy.
Get these tasks done now to ensure your garden thrives through the warmer months ahead! Need help? The Great Garden Workz team is here to give your garden the care it needs. 🌱🌸
