The article urges gardeners to plan well in advance for both formal and informal gardens. It emphasizes looking forward, not backward, to avoid repetition, and notes that informal beds require more thought to mingle tall, medium, and short plants for striking displays while reducing upkeep.
The article discusses planting yew bulbs and lilies in informal gardens with minimal care. It stresses deep well-drained soil rich in humus, long life for lilies, and the advantage of shrub-and-annual integration for continuous color, including roses and hydrangeas with seasonal protection.
The article discusses using foliage spraying to prevent potato heat damage and advises Canberra newcomers to seek local frost damage information from knowledgeable locals rather than nurseries. It notes a German harvesting machine shown between Flensburg and Munich as a notable labor saver from last year’s harvest.
The Horticultural Society and the Parks and Gardens Branch of the Department of the Interior offer guidance on clearing trees and hedges, lawn care, and protecting gardens during frosts. They warn that unfamiliar winter conditions can mislead, and provide ready information to Canberra residents and others traveling through southern cities.
