Sunflowers - Are bright, cheerful flowers that can be easily grown from seed. Position in full sunlight, ensuring they are sheltered to avoid wing damage.

Baby Beets - Can be grown all year round. They are quick to grow and full of flavour. Sowing in trays of Yates Seed Raising Mix will allow all seedlings from each cluster to be transplanted later. Pull beets while young and tender to obtain best taste.

Prune Bougainvilleas that are threatening to take over the whole garden.

For a wonderful Autumn rose display, cut back now and fertiliser with Thrive Rose food.
