Planted in full sun in Autumn and Winter directly into the soil at a spacing between 30 x 50 cm in the ground or pots no smaller than 30cm in diameter BROAD BEANS / AQUADULCE are a fun and easy crop that yields an enormous crop 14 to 15 weeks after planting.

Starke Ayres 'Greenfeast' Pea and the Dutch Heirloom 'Blue Shelling peas are a fun combination planting as the 'Blue Shelling' with its burgundy pod filled with grass green plump green peas remain a fascination for kids and mature gardeners alike. Prove support and 'Blue Shelling' can start to be harvested within 50 to 70 days, followed by the reliable Starke Ayres 'Greenfeast' ready for harvest from 120 days. In this way, you have a continued supply to eat fresh, freeze or give away to a friend.

Plant in well-prepared composted soil with a generous application of bonemeal or root stimulant followed by regular small but 2 to 4 weekly applications of 3.1.5 chemical or liquid or organic fertilizer applied to the flower bed to ensure you maximise your plant health and yield.

Our qualified horticulturist and sales staff are ready to assist with any queries when you visit Starke Ayres Garden Centre Rosebank and West Coast Village.

Spring bulbs are ready for planting now that cooler weather has arrived. Daffodils, Ranunculus, Freesias and more, especially specialised indigenous bulbs like Geissorhiza, Babiana and Ixia have been loaded onto the shelves and should be planted within the next two months.

Prepare the soil with compost and as a rule of thumb, plant as deep as the length of the bulb, for example, if a Freesia bulb is 4cm long, then that is how much soil needs to be above the bulb. When in doubt plant bulbs pointy side up, except for Ranunculus which is planted with the “fingers” facing down. Use Bonemeal when planting and feed with Hadeco Bulb food for optimal blooming and to boost the developing bulbs for next year.

See our bulb planting guide article as featured in the latest Greeff Properties digital magazine and on our website available as a downloadable pdf.

When clients express concern about the lack of flowers on their Hibiscus, it's clear that Talborne Organics 315 is necessary. Following two prior visits, our third visit to this garden has yielded impressive results, with the application of https://talborne.co.za/vita-fruit-and-flower-31518/ resulting in an abundance of flower heads. Maintaining optimal soil health and nutrition is essential for plant well-being.

Facing a challenging environment with a scorching sun and bracing sea breeze, our team tackled a demanding landscape project. In a confined space craving soft touches, we introduced charcoal planters to showcase vibrant greenery. Opting for a resilient, easy-care plant selection was key. 🌿

Our client's neighbor removed a tree and so privacy and screening were lost. A hardwood screen was needed, and Grace Decking & Timberworx helped with this beautiful. Even a boundary wall that is not straight, we managed to get it to work. Just adding timber to cover the top of the wall helps hide the wall not been straight and privacy for the pool area has been achieved.

We just love it at Paarman Landscapes when clients send us photos of their gardens.
