Potting up my Dwarf Mulberry cuttings.

🍄 Should have done this a few weeks ago but today I'm 'potting up' the dwarf mulberry cuttings that have well and truly struck a good and healthy root system.
🍄I'm using 150mm pots to give the plants plenty of room to get established. 🍄 Fairly straight forward job, I just need to give them a watering and then some half-strength liquid fertiliser tomorrow. 🍅 What do you think of the intro? I learnt it from Peter McKinnon's latest video. https://youtu.be/x4ubUxPeXGs

What to plant in April?

What to plant in April?

Gardenate's got you covered. April in the garden.

I pinched this one from the Organic Gardener website.

Comfrey and it's uses.

Wow, just wow.

I received an email from the Mudbrick Cottage Herb Farm last night and it was all about Comfrey.

Covering topics of, Harvest, preserving and using your harvest, drying comfrey for storage, comfrey infused oil and comfrey ointment.

I found it an excellent and informative read so I'll leave a link here for you and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Lisbon lemon sucker removal

🍄 I had to remove this sucker from my Lisbon Lemon tree before it became too vigorous and took over from the Lisbon lemon graft.
🍄 A simple job but one you'd need to do as a part of your regular garden maintenance. 🍄 Suckering on grafted plants is something you need to be aware of and to be vigilant of. #citrus #libsonlemon #productivegarden

It's garlic planting time.

It's time to dust off the digging fork and start getting ready for the best time of the year.

That's garlic planting time.

All about Basil Downy Mildew.

🍄 Basil downy mildew was detected for the first time in Queensland in April 2017. 🍄 Basil downy mildew is caused by a fungal pathogen. It initially appears as tiny greyish specks on the underside of leaves and progresses to cover larger areas of the lower leaf surface. The fungus may appear raised from the leaf surface or “fluffy” in appearance. As the disease progresses areas of the affected leaves may turn yellow, brown and die. While affected leaf material may not be viable for commercial sale, the disease itself does not have an impact on human health.🍄 #basildownymildew #growingbasil #organicgardening 🍄 Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries https://www.daf.qld.gov.au/business-p... 🍄 Justin Russell.
