Saturdays @ Charlie’s Garden

Weekend plans

JOBS TO BE DONE: 1 4 June 2025

9 to 10am followed by coffee and chat.

As recommended we will repeat the application of worm castings tea to crops in the beds as well as potted plants and herbs.

As the Makrut Lime tree has scale please spray it with Eco Oil. Also apply some blood and bone to all the citrus trees.

Topdress the Chillis in the front rectangular pot with vegetable potting mix. 

The Jerusalem Artichoke on the western side of the front gate was uprooted by the strong wind on Sunday. I suggest checking to see if the artichokes have ripened sufficiently to harvest.

Trim dead leaves on sage plant in pot.

Collect Plane Tree leaves to fill the bin adjacent to the compost bins.
