If it's warm enough, start thinking about planting tomatoes. There's a huge variety available in sizes and colours ranging from red to black, yellow and striped. When they're home grown, they taste delicious. Tomatoes grow well in pots, hanging baskets or in the ground.
As well as tomatoes, and silverbeet. Carrots do well planted as seed.
It's also a good time to put in shrubs like nandina and murraya, with its sweet orange-scented flowers in summer. Murrayas are a great hedging plant. Plant in full sun or part shade and moist, well-drained soil. They don't like frosts.
September is a great time to feed the garden so that it's primed and ready for summer. Give fruit trees and vegies a dose of slow release fertiliser. It will give the plants a gentle boost. The fertiliser will activate when the temperature is correct.
Give your lawn a good feed. Don't do it on a super hot day and water in well afterwards. For advice about fertilisers visit the store to seek expert advice.
There should be plenty to pick from your winter garden. Pull leeks, pick lettuce, beetroot and Asian greens. Keep picking rhubarb. It's best to pick stems from the outside of the plant.
Spring is a great time to be out in the garden. The sun is out and the weather is warming up. So make sure you get out into the garden this weekend.
