Fine Music Radio — Bulbs are up , flowers are out up the west coast, in Namaqualand and all over the little Karoo Its Spring already!! I doubt it- so lets not start with the whole spring thing to early. At the same time if you are into egg plants, chillies, peppers and some of the larger type tomatoes then August is the time for sowing and its fast approaching, so give it some thought. Keep in mind that many of these varieties can take 90days from sowing to harvesting. If you wait for winter to officially end then they will only be on the table in December---bit late I would say!!! Now, the winter rain brings lots and lots of weeds! If they are more than a metre high right now then you probably have amazing soil , full of compost and other good things. What they take out of the soil goes back in threefold when you make compost out of them. FMR GARDEN CHAT SCRIPT - 20 July 2019.pdf — PDF (67.1 KB)
