We help you get the most from your garden
Now is the time to plant trees and shrubs, sow veges and flowers, propagate and divide perennials, and sow green mulch in bare spaces.
Feed your plants and trees, prune certain shrubs and give hedges the last trim before spring. Also minimise overwintering fungi, vine hoppers, aphids and scale.
And weeding - there’s always weeding - to reduce competition among plants for precious resources.
We're back to work this week.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
