The Star Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Thursday September 20 2018 31 Gardening Local News Now Rising temperatures a sign spring is here FINALLY, spring has arrived, much to the delight of gardeners around the country. Although September can more often than not be a wet and windy month, temperatures are on the rise, producing signs of spring throughout the garden. Vege garden Time for the final harvest and removal of winter maturing vegetables. By staggering planting times, these vegetables have hopefully supplied your kitchen with continuous food over winter. Where conditions allow, for example, soil is not too wet and the temperature is rising, you can plant the ‘hardier’ summer vegetables. These include asparagus, beetroot, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, onion, radish, silverbeet and spinach. Improve existing vegetable plots by adding generous amounts of compost before planting new seasons vegetables. Maintain a wary eye for slugs and snails as they will rapidly emerge in search of tasty seedlings. Flowering annuals Time to prepare your summer flower garden as winter annuals are finishing flowering. It’s a little TIMELY: Winter annuals should be about to finish flowering. early for planting traditional summer annuals, but there are a number that ‘transcend’ this typical growing season such as alyssum, calendulas, cornflower, lobelia, nemesia, pansies and violas. If you want to grow your own summer flowering annuals from seed, sow them now in specific seed raising mix and water regularly to ensure even germination. Seedlings should be mature enough for transplanting into the garden approximately six to eight weeks after sowing. Bulbs Carefully mark the position of your late winter/early spring flowering bulbs if you want to grow other plants in the same area over the summer months. Where bulbs are flowering well, allow them to naturalise in the garden. This applies especially to crocus, freesias, hyacinths, iris, lachenalias, narcissus and watsonias. Fruit trees In warmer areas, citrus are still producing masses of sweet fruit. Stone fruit, apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums are all in full bloom, as are pip fruit, apples and pears. Hopefully, weather conditions allow for successful pollination by bees, HEALTHY: Stagger your summer vege planting times. with sunny days and no strong winds. Early strawberry varieties are now beginning to set fruit, especially in warmer parts of the country. Maintain a good mulch of pea straw or hay around the plants to help keep the berries clean and healthy. Roses Apply compost around the base of existing and new plants as it’s beneficial for the plant’s health. Commence fertiliser applications from early October onwards. Spring/early summer is the best time for roses in NZ with masses of blooms and plants are usually disease free. Apply compost Fire rages, homes at risk around the base of existing and new plants as it’s beneficial for the plant’s health. Commence fertiliser applications from early October onwards. Ornamental shrubs and trees Garden centres are still well stocked with new seasons trees and shrubs. Quite often in September, there are very attractive sales to clear ‘seasonal’ plants. As the soil warms, mulch new and existing plants to help suppress weeds and aid water retention over the dry summer months. Give winter flowering shrubs, like azaleas and camellias, that have finished flowering a light ‘tidy up’ prune where required. Lawns Grass growth is just beginning again. Make sure your lawnmower blades have been sharpened for the new season. Cut lawns regularly but avoid ‘close’ mowing initially in spring. Apply first applications of fertiliser in late September. While it is still a little early for over sowing bare patches in your lawn, these areas can be prepared for next month’s sowing. oN sAle Now!
