The last of the purple cauliflower before summer arrives! 💜
We’ll soon start mulching the vegetable gardens and tucking them in for our long, hot and dry summer. There is potential to keep growing through the warmer months, but it’s hard going—the tomatoes get sunburnt, the gardens need far more water and almost everything wants to bolt to seed.
A few heat-loving plants like pumpkins, capsicums and luffas will keep powering along, but otherwise we’ll turn our attention to maintaining the rest of our extensive gardens while the vegetable patch enjoys a well-earned rest.
