9 to 10am, followed by coffee and a chat.
Thankyou gardeners for tending the garden over these next three weeks when so many of us have a busy July.
1. Tend herb boxes and plants on the pathways if needed
1. Potato Towers: The three towers of Dutch Cream Potatoes are thriving. As they grow taller they require top dressing with alternate layers of cut straw (under the blue box near the compost bins) and soil (the prepared soil is in B4). Aim is to topdress leaving about 10cm of leafy growth for photosynthesis.
2. Tomatoes: Continue harvesting tomatoes when they look about half ripe and remove yellowing leaves to the green bin.
3. We have been given two bottles of worm juice. (in the large shed) This can be diluted worm juice: water 1:10 and given to Citrus trees in particular and other plants as you wish.
4. Harvest Cumquats which are completely yellow.
5. Tend the compost bins by stirring using the tool in the big shed and top dressing current receiving bin with plane tree leaves in adjacent bin then plastic bag under the table.
