In summer many plants suffer dehydration and it inhibits their ability to grow and produce crops. This doesn't mean you need to irrigate twice daily, but when you water it needs to be deep and meaningful.

It's the festive season and a great time to get out in the garden with the family. Spuds are ready, plant leeks and pretty up the outdoors with some potted colour - plus protect those berries from the birds!

It's warming up - time to plant beans, basil and corn and start protecting those yummy berries from the birds. It's also a great time to mulch to help retain moisture over the warmer months.

October is a great a month to get planting vegetables in the garden to enjoy harvesting during a long, hot summer!

Now's the time to add compost, fertilise the lawn and add nutrients back into the soil.

Get rid of pests and do weeding while the soil is still moist. Plant snow peas, onions, radishes and herbs, plus don't forget the flowers to add some colour.
