May Grower's News

Growing advice from The Hunter Organic Growers says there is a chill in the air and the change of seasons appears to be under way. Regardless of the conditions in your little patch of paradise, there is still loads to do this month.

Still some good planting time left so pop in some Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Peas and broad beans can also go in, as well as radish, turnips, swedes and spinach.

It’s time to get happy with herbs, so try some chamomile and lemon grass. You could give mint and lemon balm a go as well, but be careful to contain them as they can take over!

Why not try some lovely flowering stuff in your patch as well, like: cornflower, calendula, dianthus, pansies, viola, snapdragons, stock, ageratum and marigolds. These are great at attracting pollinators and beneficial insects to your patch, and the flowers look good as well.
