DAYS ARE NOW shorter and nights longer, temperatures are dropping, all signs that winter is very near. A lot of tasks in the garden to be carried out before it becomes too cold and wet. Vegetable garden Continue planting traditional winter vegetables, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbages, cauliflower, onions, peas, silverbeet and spinach. May is also the preferred month for sowing broad beans. To do this, enrich the soil thoroughly, add a ‘dressing’ of lime along with fresh compost. Sow the seed 10-15mm deep and 100-150 mm apart. Single or double rows can be sown. Garlic can also be planted in May; they prefer well-drained soil with generous amounts of compost. Plant the cloves 30-40mm deep and 50-60 mm between each clove. Flowering annuals Continue planting winter flowering annuals throughout May. Maintain a watch for slugs and snails that may still be operating. Winter flowers annuals to plant include alyssum, calendulas, cineraria, cornflowers, lobelia, pansies, poppies, primulas, snapdragons, stock, sweet pea, Sweet William, wallflowers, and violas. Perennials While many perennials prefer to grow undisturbed for many years, they eventually become overcrowded producing poor growth and flowering. May is an ideal month for safely dividing and replanting numerous perennials. Prepare new sites thoroughly prior to division and then swiftly replant newly divided plants into the selected sites in the garden. Any old/diseased plant mater should be disposed of. Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Strawberries The planting of next season strawberries should be completed in May. Even though there are cold winter months ahead, the earlier strawberries are planted the better the spring growth. Always plant some new varieties as well as the runners from your old strawberry plants. You can also extend the harvesting season, by planting a mixture of both early, late and day neutral varieties. FLAVOUR: It’s now time to plant garlic. Find well drained soil and plant 100-150mm apart. Fruit trees The pruning of pip and stone fruit trees can begin towards the end of May. Aim to reduce the height of fruit trees to manageable levels for picking and maintenance work. Remove all inward growing branches and any ‘crisscrossing’ branches. Always observe during the summer months, where the fruit are on the tree i.e., the age of the branches that produce the fruit. After pruning is completed follow up with a copper spray. Be prepared Wednesday May 11 2022 Selwyn Times GARDENING 31 Get planting before the soil gets too wet to protect young citrus trees from winter frosts with frost cloth. Rose care The flowering season is now finished, apart from iceberg that will continue blooming indefinitely it seems! It is still too early to start pruning as a warm spell will encourage immediate new growth after pruning, even in early winter. In the herb garden The herb garden is new in what can be termed ‘winter mode’! As many of our culinary herbs originated from warmer climates, they often struggle over wet, cold winter months. Plant frequently used herbs like mint, parsley, and chives in containers to improve winter performance. Lawns As temperatures drop, so will the rate of grass growth. Check for early signs of ‘wet spots’ in the lawn, that may require additional drainage before the areas become too wet. With new lawns, raise the level when mowing. On established lawns where ‘levels’ may be not as required; this is the perfect time for rolling (helps flatten the ground) as the soil is moist but not too wet and minor undulations in the lawn can be ‘ironed out’.
