Sow seeds of lobelia, alyssum, godetia, larkspur, sweet William, calendula, dianthus, and sweetpeas. Plant out seedlings of bellis daisy, sweetpeas, candytuft, poppy, polyanthus, cyclamen, lobelia, pansies, alyssum, anemone and Sweet William. This is the time of the year to plant two favourite perennial edibles — asparagus crowns in garden stores now and rhubarb.
Plant in free-draining soil — rhubarb will rot at the base if soil is continually damp. Keep planting garlic and shallots — garlic cloves planted in early winter will be ready for harvest in late summer. Sow seeds of spinach, silver beet, peas climbing and dwarf , onions, lettuce, broad beans, artichokes suckers , cabbages, lettuce and onions.
Plant out seedlings of cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, winter lettuce, spinach and silver beet. Plant your new berries and fruit trees — citrus, apples, pears, plums, peaches and nectarines. Now is the perfect time to prune trees that have finished fruiting.
Cut stems back to a healthy growing bud and seal cuts on larger stems with pruning paint to protect against disease. June is a good time to treat lawns for weeds, fertilise and sow lawn seed where necessary — over sowing may be needed on lawns which have been badly affected by the drought. Remember to keep your secateurs and loppers clean with white spirits — this will prevent the transfer of any diseases when undertaking those pruning jobs.
Excellent ground cover, standard or in tubs. Best in semi-shade. Good stocks available of Sasanqua camellias in various colours; Photinia - Beautiful new red foliage Corokia - Ghentys Green Griselinia - Broadway Mint great for coastal gardens. Time to plant a tree June is the month to engage in the symbolic and tangible act of planting a tree — June 5 is Arbor Day.
Of course, you can plant a tree any time, but Arbor Day officially recognises the importance of trees in our community. The date was later changed to June 5 to coincide with World Environment Day. One way to get your Arbor Day trees off to a good start is to raise your seedlings in milk cartons. Cut the top off the carton and cut drainage holes in the bottom corners.
The shape encourages strong, downward root growth. When planting, simply remove the container, tear it up and put the pieces in your planting hole.

From that very first Arbor Day there has been an emphasis on taking good care of your newly planted trees. The main challenges for young trees are getting the right amount of water, and competing with weeds, so mulching is a sustainable way to help them out.
Be careful though, at this time of the year mulch may do more harm than good. If your tree is cold-sensitive, leave at least a 50cm radius of bare soil. This allows soil to absorb warmth during the day and release it at night, softening the bite of frost. Most of us want the quick fix — a tree with instant height. You can pay big bucks and get a young sapling for immediate effect in a new garden, but planting.
Either use a moderate amount of slow release fertiliser or mix compost into the planting hole. Your planting hole should leave at least 10cm around the tree. Gently tease the roots to help them spread out into this space. As you fill in the hole, press the soil down now and then to improve contact with the roots. Last of all, firm the soil around the seedling with your gumboots, and leave with a satisfied Arbor Day smile.
Like garlic, shallots are traditionally planted on the shortest day and harvested on the longest, although they will grow if planted any time before spring. Shallots are generally grown from an individual bulb which multiplies into more bulbs, or cloves, but they can also be raised from seed available from www.
Bulbs for planting are available from garden centres, although you can also buy them from the supermarket, but make sure you buy organic, New Zealand-grown bulbs as overseas ones are usually sprayed to stop sprouting. Like all members of the onion family shallots grow best in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. The lighter, or looser, the soil, the larger your shallots will grow. They also like moist not waterlogged conditions, so dig in plenty of compost to help retain moisture.

Choose a good-sized bulb the size of the bulb you plant will affect the end result — the bigger the bulb the bigger the outcome. Divide up multiple bulbs and plant each individual bulb, root end down. Set them with their noses just below the surface so they can grow strongly undisturbed by birds. Gently press them into the ground, allowing about cm between bulbs and 30cm between rows. Keep weeded and remove any flower heads that form.
In early summer, scrape the soil from the bulbs so sun can reach them and aid in ripening. When the leaves turn yellow and flop usually mid to late summer your bulbs have finished growing and begin to swell quickly. Lift clusters carefully, with tops attached, to cure in a warm, dry place for two to three weeks, then store in a mesh bag in a cool, dry spot out of direct sunlight make sure loose outer skins are removed as these can trap moisture which can rot your bulbs.
Slotted trays that allow good air movement also work well for storage, or you can plait tops together and hang up. Good air movement is essential to prevent disease, and a cool spot will prevent sprouting. If bulbs are dried properly, with good airflow and low relative humidity, they should store for about nine months — keep those smaller bulbs for planting next year. As we slip from Autumn into Winter it is harder to get the enthusiasm to get out and do the garden. However, now is probably the best time to put new gardens in place to make the most of the lower temperatures and increased soil moisture.

Winter winners If our temperamental, late autumn weather is wearing you down, the sight of flowers on winter bare branches is sure to lift your spirits. But my favourite is the flowering quince Chaenomeles in lively lipstick-red. The blooms, like over-sized apple blossom, on bare, twisted branches are a welcoming sight, both in the garden and in a vase. These are its only drawback, although they can deter unwanted foot traffic.
Flowering quinces belong to the rose family and are happy in sun or part shade. Almost neglect-proof, they can cope with hard frost, drought and clay soil. Flower buds are produced on previous summer growth, so mid-spring, after flowering, is the best time to prune, cutting out dead or damaged branches. You can rejuvenate an old plant by removing the oldest, fattest branches to ground level, although hard hacking is best avoided unless you want to create a dense thicket.
Some varieties produce green and yellow japonica apples that ripen in the autumn, if not removed with pruning.

These have a lovely perfume and can be used to make jelly. This showy shrub flowers in early winter with an absolute cloud of soft pink flowers and a sweet, pervasive fragrance. The waxy flowers are held in big, round bunches, dark rose in bud, and a baby pink when open. Plant it in pride of place, not too far away from a window so its wonderful perfume can waft indoors. The shrub grows quickly to two or three metres and its best. This keeps growth lush and bushy and maximises flowering. Unpruned shrubs grow tall and leggy with flowers at the top.
A sprig in a small vase banishes the winter blues feeling, emitting a perfume that belies its size and beats anything you can buy in a bottle. Daphne like cool, lime-free soil, rich in organic matter, but hate wet feet, so good drainage is paramount. Avoid placing your daphne in direct all-day sun because this will turn the leaves yellow. Nutrient imbalances caused by high pH or poor drainage can also result in sickly, yellow leaves. If yellow leaves persist in well-drained soil, iron deficiency may be the problem.

This can be remedied with a dose of iron chelates. Kept compact with a light prune after flowering, this is an attractive year-round shrub that flowers its socks off just when you need it the most. They spoke briefly of their anticipations of the trip. Club monthly meetings were often their only outing. The track is due for opening very soon.
