PLANTING GUIDE FOR
SPRING
After a cold winter, we are looking
forward to a productive spring in the garden. In frosty
areas like ours, it will be too cold to put out frost-tender
seedlings until mid-September. Keep a garden diary so that
you have a record of the last frost for the year, to help
next year’s planning, as it can be very disappointing to
have seedlings burnt to a crisp that you have lovingly
raised. We like to get an early start with many spring
vegetables, especially tomatoes, by starting them in a warm
spot ahead of time.
cont...
Early spring is a good time to plant
perennial food plants such as yacon, asparagus,
Jerusalem artichokes, waterchestnuts, ginger, turmeric,
galangal and chokos. Potatoes can be planted into
well-mulched beds, only use certified seed potatoes to
avoid introducing damaging virus diseases to your garden.
Spring is
also a good time
to give the grass a run for its money and plant a
legume groundcover in the orchard. Legumes such
as clover, lucerne or barrel
medic act as a ‘living mulch’ in your
orchard with a range of benefits for your fruit
trees.....
