Winter gardening

TOMORROW is the first day of winter and I am keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny start to the season.

Here are the Organic Gardening magazine tips for June gardening.

When its cold, digging, weeding, planting and pruning are a great way to keep warm. As this coming week is when we put out the green waste bin full of everything I can't compost - mostly fruit tree pruning - I'll get to sharpening the secateurs too.

And there's always the fun of turning over the compost with the chooks helping out!
