Garden Express Offer of the Week
Episode: # 11 16/06/07
Presenter: Melissa King
For Melissa, winter symbolizes making serious decisions in the garden - pulling things out that haven't worked, re-designing or revamping tired looking areas and above all planting!
The pace slows down a bit in winter, deciduous plants lose their leaves, perennials die down - evenevergreens don't grow with quite the same enthusiasm. That means two things – it is the perfect time to get plants in the ground and they are in the perfect condition for Garden Express to post them right to your door step!
The first stop is the kitchen garden. Fresh garden picked asparagus is so tender. An asparagus crown, with the long fleshy roots is where the spears grow from and you can get them through the post. Asparagus love a deep, rich soil – so add lots of organic matter before planting.
Melissa remembers sitting out in the garden as a child munching on all of the fresh strawberries – even today she resents having to buy a punnet because she knows they wont taste as good as home grown.
Good drainage and full sun is vital for strawberries and you can get runners in the ground now. Where drainage is a problem, grow them in raised beds or in pots and hanging baskets on your patio or balcony. If you are starting new plants, make sure they are from a credible source, like Garden Express so you know they are certified free of virus diseases.
When it comes to mail ordering plants, winter opens up all sorts of opportunities. You get bundles of bare-rooted roses, big fruiting and ornamental trees all home delivered, so you will have more time to finally finish that landscape project.
Propagation units and heat pads are perfect for raising seeds and cuttings ready for planting out when the weather warms up. They come in all different sizes from a basic propagation tray and cover to giant heat controlled trays for the serious gardener.
If you are gardening on a budget, then you will want to make the most of this week’s Garden Express offer because it always pays off to propagate your own plants. With heated propagation kits you can grow plants stronger, faster and healthier in any season. They allow you to control growing conditions – so you get an increase in strike rate, plant growth and root development.
Now normally a unit with heated tray, seedling tray a vented dome and 40 jiffy pots is valued at $75, but this week, just for being a Garden Gurus viewer you can get it for just $49. So get online or on the phone before Monday morning to get free delivery.
