May Autumn Gardening Advice

Get Gardening

A May Autumn check list for your garden!

Fruit

Strawberry time - choose a well-drained sunny position. Prepare the ground with compost and strawberry fertiliser, work well into the soil. If planted now they will start producing in October through to the new year. Strawberries should be replaced every two years in the home garden, this ensures healthy and abundant crops. Prune feijoas once fruit is all harvested. Older bushes will benefit from being cut back into the old wood to rejuvenate the bush.

Vegetables

Continue planting winter greens. If the ground is too cold you can substitute for large pots in a sunny position.

Flowers

Pots can add a splash of colour during winter Pansies Viola, primula and poppies are all winter favourites. Always cut dead flower heads off and feed to encourage more flowers.  

Citrus

When picking your fruit, make sure to cut the fruit off with secateurs and cut back into the bush rather than pulling to fruit off. Winter is the best time to prune larger brunches. Follow the pruning with a spray of copper to help seal cuts and prevent fungal infections.
