Sub-Tropical Zone - October

Next Month >>

Petunias - Are free-flowering plants in a magnificent array of colours. Continuous blooming over a long period. Sow into trays of Yates Seed Raising Mix. Firm down and keep moist. Keep trays in a warm place or cover with glass. Than transplant in a sunny well drained position.

October's a perfect month for planting vegetables such as tomatoes, zucchinis and sweet corn.

This is a good time to rejuvenate tired old citrus trees by pruning hard, renewing mulch and feeding with Thrive Granular Citrus Food.

Feed lawns with an organic food like Dynamic Lifter to keep them looking lush and green.

Spray weeds with Zero Glyphosate. They take off with warmer temperatures and increased sunlight.
