SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday November 21 2018 35 Gardening Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk Use compost to ensure continuous flowering NOVEMBER IS one of the most enjoyable months to spend in the garden, with abundant growth everywhere. That means there are plenty of tasks to keep gardeners busy. Vege garden All summer vegetables should have been planted by now, including beans, beetroot, cabbage, celery, corn, cucumber, courgettes, lettuce, peas, pumpkin, radish, spring onions, spinach, tomatoes, silver beet and zucchini. Stagger plantings to extend the time for harvesting and keep developing vegetables well-watered without over-watering. Apply side dressings of vegetable fertiliser, especially to gross feeders like sweet corn. Add a layer of mulch or pea straw to help water retention and reduce the infestation of weeds. On tomato plants, there are laterals which are shoots that appear between the junction of a leaf and the stem. You want to create a strong tomato plant with a good structure, so remove laterals from the stems up to at least 1m from the ground and keep removing them regularly until the plant is around 1.3-1.4m tall. Use sharp secateurs and ensure they are clean before you start. Be sure to stake your tomato plants well. Herb garden New season herbs should be planted by early November including frost-tender basil. Remember that herbs grow best in fine, welldrained soil in a full-sun site. They will struggle to grow in heavy clay soils or in shady parts of the garden. Summer annuals Summer flowering annuals should be in vigorous growth by now. This includes alyssum, ageratum, aster, candytuft, cornflower, cosmos, marigold, nemesia, phlox, portulaca, petunias, salvias, strawflower and zinnias. The key to continuous flowering over summer is through good preparation with the addition of compost to the existing soil before planting. Dead heading (removal of finished flowers) helps promote continuous flowering throughout the season. Water plants regularly, especially when young seedlings are first planted. Fruit trees Fruit trees are in full growth mode, so apply a side dressing of fruit tree fertiliser, especially to young trees. Irrigate newly planted trees deeply to help establish a strong, sturdy root system and mulch to reduce water loss. Containers With home gardens reducing in size, container gardening is even more popular. Multifunctional, they can be used for growing herbs, mini-veges, or provide a splash of colour when planted with summer annuals. Always use fresh container mix when planting. MULTIFUNCTIONAL: Container gardening is popular. Keep your blooms well nourished. Juicy Lemons need plenty of water To ensure you have enough juicy lemons, keep the water up to your plants while they are in flower now. Dry lemons are directly related to lack of water as the crop develops over summer. A layer of mulch works wonders, apply mulch after watering the soil. A top up of fertiliser will do them wonders as well. Preparing for the dry season If you haven’t already got bark on your garden, add a layer of organic compost now, and mix it through your existing soil. Keep the watering up over the next few weeks, then look to add your bark mulch before the heat really fires up. If you have got a thin layer of bark, try and boost it up to a good 10cm as this will help get the best results. If you have already added your bark – well done! You will need to keep the watering up now to stay ahead of the game. Water is essential for healthy plant growth and development. Establish a good watering routine, ensuring you give your plants a good deep soak every few days rather than a light sprinkling every day. Weeding isn’t exactly the most enjoyable part of gardening, but skipping out of doing it is going to be costly for your plants. Not only do they look unsightly, they take up a lot of nutrients and water that your plants need, as well as fight for space. Dedicate time to remove them as soon as they pop up, it will seem less of a task if you do it that way rather than letting them build up over a month or more. SAFER ACCESS TO INTELLIGRO Heading north on Main South Road you will use the Weedons Ross Road off ramp. Manion Road is just before the railway lines on the left-hand side. If you are heading south along Main South Road, then turn right into Curraghs Road, and Manion Road is on your left just before the railway line. You cannot miss our big green sign.

Potatoes will need to have the soil mounded up around the tops of the rows now. This helps to encourage a larger crop. Early spuds like Swift and Rocket may be ready for harvest. Once the crop flowers and the stems begin to wither it indicates the crop is ready. Potatoes require plenty of water as the crop begins to develop, and fertiliser to help them develop.
