Not sure how to treat your garden as we head into Winter?
Much like you would treat yourself: With a blanket (aka mulch), nourishing food (compost) and tea (rain - we hope!). Temperatures are dropping, and it's not the biggest growing season.
However, life is possible in the Winter season that isn't possible in other seasons, so there is plenty life teeming under the soil.
Just remember that in colder temperatures, plants tend to grow a bit more slowly than in the warmth, but there are of course exceptions and those that thrive in Winter - worth getting to know your Winter growers!
For those of you keen on planting veg this month, here's
May's list:
Broad Beans, Broccoli, Cabbage, Calendula, Chard, Celery, Chinese Cabbage, Chives, Chilli Pepper, Kohlrabi, Garlic, Leek, Leaf Mustard, Lettuce, Onion, Parsley, Parsnip, Peas, Potato, Radish.
