CREATIVE CONTAINERS-THE ONLY 3 WORDS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Thank you to all of the wonderful Perth garden lovers who came to hear me speak at Perth Garden Festival last Thursday.

This year, the highlight of the Perth Garden Festival was the amount of great down to earth information available to visitors. Easy tips to make your gardening journey in Perth more successful and more fun.

My talk was about giving people some imaginative ways to smarten up their containers using the latest en trend plants available in Perth for Autumn 2019.

I shared the only three words you need to know for successful planting I learned from my trip to Chicago last year and if you stick with these easy-to-remember words you too can garden like a pro and save money at the same time.

Well, I’m not sure exactly what happened to March, 2019, it was a funny month here in Perth with still warm days which were actually quite humid. Let’s blame it on the moon.

While the other half of the country is still suffering the effects of the terrible drought, things have been pretty mild over here. It is a great time to get out into the garden in Perth …almost like a second spring.

Here are 5 things that might have happened in your garden in March that you may want to take a look at.

Fungal Disease

Have you noticed some weird things happening to the leaves of your plants? Humid weather = Fungal disease. Furry white powder on hydrangeas, roses or tomatoes, say? Then that’s powdery mildew which is a fungal disease and can be treated with Eco Fungicide by OCP. It’s organic so is safe to use on edibles. You could also use a copper spray.
