PROMOTIONS<br />
CAN you believe it…….. The winter is actually<br />
here and in good time. We had a very good rainy<br />
season and winter is more than welcome.<br />
There is NO need to stop gardening in winter.<br />
Now is the perfect time for gardening in our<br />
area. Our winters are not that cold and we don't<br />
usually get frost. Plants have become dormant<br />
and will have time to settle in through the cooler<br />
months, before our hot summer starts again.<br />
Haenertsburg, Magoebaskloof, Agatha,<br />
Georges Valley and parts off Politsi are not that<br />
fortunate. Start protecting the tender plants in<br />
your garden against the falling night temperatures.<br />
If you have not yet planted your spring bulbs,<br />
plant them as soon as possible. Remember to<br />
keep your spring bulbs watered to prevent them<br />
from drying out. Seedlings that you should<br />
consider for this time of the year is alyssum,<br />
antirrhinum, chrysanthemum, cineraria, delphinium,<br />
dianthus, gazania, lobelia, pansy,<br />
primula, petunia, verbena and the ever so pretty<br />
viola. Split and replant agapanthus, dietes and<br />
most of your grass varieties.<br />
Now is a good time for pruning deciduous<br />
trees, as they are bare, it is easy to see which<br />
branch is in your way. Remember to keep on<br />
deadheading your shrubs and seedlings as this<br />
will ensure better growth.<br />
Continue to water and fertilize your garden<br />
and lawn, though you don't have to do it as<br />
frequently. 2:3:2 on your lawn every 6 weeks is<br />
perfect. Citrus and fruit trees needs to be well<br />
watered and keep on fertilizing with 6:1:5.<br />
Sow flower seed like Namaqualand daisies<br />
and Nasturtiums. Winter is a good season to<br />
grow herbs as they don't fancy the very high<br />
temperatures. Plant your veggie garden with<br />
cabbage, beetroot, onions, celery, garlic and all<br />
lettuce varieties to get a good kick start for<br />
spring.<br />
If you are a conifer lover, keep on applying<br />
insecticides because the winter aphid loves<br />
conifers.<br />
Mulch your flowerbeds well as this will form<br />
a warm layer and help with water retention.<br />
Remember to mulch hydrangeas (Christmas<br />
roses) with acid compost to enhance the growth<br />
and colour for the upcoming season.<br />
If you love indoor plants and you are heating<br />
your home with electric or gas heaters, keep a<br />
bowl off water in the room. This will keep up the<br />
humidity in the room and stop the leaves from<br />
drying out. Keep a look out for mealy bug and<br />
scale on your indoor<br />
plants.<br />
Lastly do not forget<br />
to restore your garden<br />
furniture, jungle gyms<br />
and Wendy Houses<br />
before the rainy season<br />
returns. You<br />
might not have a dry<br />
summer weekend!!!!!!!<br />
