Pull out any summer herbs and vegetables that have finished producing and add to your compost bin. Planting of winter seedlings will give you a good start in your home edible patch so prepare the soil. Plant seedlings of cabbage, cauliflowers, broccoli, beetroot, winter lettuce, brussel sprouts, spinach, carrots, leeks and winter herbs.

Protect new plantings against slugs and snails with McGregor’s Snail & Slug Pellets and give them a good start by watering them with McGregor’s Vege & Ornamental Plant Fertiliser 2 weeks after germination.
