HAVE you noticed the morning dew? Does it feel lovely and cool in the early morning? These are sure signs that the season is turning, and a call to action for veggie growers across the district. March really is your final opportunity to direct seed your winter veggies to ensure they are robust and well established prior to the onset of cold, frosty nights. If you only have a small area within which to grow, this may involve making tough decisions about your summer crops. For example, as summer crops start to slow in production, you may decide that harvesting a few zucchini or tomatoes each week is worth the space the plant takes up in your patch. Or you may decide establishing a couple of broccoli plants is a better use of said space at this stage of the season. Ultimately, the choice is yours. In any case, ensure you keep the ground well watered and fed, adding compost when necessary. Eat well, stay well.
