Growing food tip of the month
Fruits and vegetables typically like six hours of sunshine every day so ensure that you place your vegie patch in a sunny spot, although some shade from the hot westerly sun is advised (in Summer). Don’t forget that conditions change throughout the year – particularly in relation to shade from surrounding buildings and trees – so consider the year round conditions before picking the right spot.
Don’t forget to jump over to Facebook and ‘like’ the Perth Gardening page.
