With the weather so cold in Melbourne at this time of year I am really struggling to get anything done in the garden. I’m trying to keep on top of the weeding and do a bit of planting and harvesting in the vegetable garden, but mostly I’m just huddling inside and dreaming of Spring!
How do other gardeners in the colder states deal with winter? Do you rug up and just get it done, or leave the garden to it’s own devices and stay inside?
Rug up and wear plastic gloves .
Mostly sit inside and watch it grow. But then again I do that in Summer as well 😊
I ventured out into the garden to plant out some kangaroo paws yesterday. It was 21 degrees outside, so warm enough for this time of year. Now I will stay inside and watch them grow. It’s the very least I can do from them. I may hurl some grow pellets at them from the back door.
I’m definitely a fair weather gardener. I listen to all of Costas’ Jobs for July and laugh. “Well, THAT’S not happening!”
Almost nothing, it’s dark when I leave and dark when I get home but on the plus side I can grow some awesome moss!
Mmm mmmm! Moss. 😂
