Tomatoes for all!!
Now that the soil has warmed up a bit, most summer veges are happy to go into the garden. Now is the perfect time to plant cucumbers, capsicums, aubergine, carrots, lettuce, basil and coriander. Raised garden beds are a great way to grow your veges. You can position them close to your kitchen or patio for easy access and it’s easy to get loads of nutrients into the soil of a raised garden. We have a selection of kit set raised garden beds in store or build your own!
Now is the perfect time to plant beans. They’re a great gardening task to try with kids as they are fast growing and can be eaten straight off the vine. Beans need trellis, a fence or obelisk to cling to as they like to climb. You can find a range of obelisks and climbing frames at your local Palmers store now. Beans love the sun so plant them in a warm area with maximum sunlight. They will benefit from well drained soil and some fertiliser and should reward you with a bumper crop.
