WATERING FAVOURS

If you're going to be out of town for more than a couple days, here are the three best ways to keep your plants happy and well-watered:

1. Ask a friend or family member.
2. Post a request (with your bed numbers) on the notice board.
3. Use ‘Please Water Me’ sign or make your own with a piece of cardboard.

It might seem strange, but now is the right time to start planning and planting your fall and winter crops so you can make the most of the growing season.

West Coast seeds have a great resource which explains and provides helpful tips for what to plant for the fall and winter season. You can find the document HERE.


Stay cool out there!
