It’s Time To Plant 🌱
Right now is one of the best times of year to plant. While many people think spring is ideal, autumn offers the perfect conditions for strong plant establishment. The rains begin to arrive, temperatures become milder, and the soil remains warm, creating an excellent environment for root growth.
When planted now, plants settle into warm soil where evaporation is much lower than in the hotter months. This means moisture stays in the ground longer and newly planted plants require less frequent watering. Within days, fresh white roots begin forming as plants respond quickly to these favourable conditions.
In Victoria, the period from autumn through to Christmas is generally gentle, with moderate temperatures and consistent moisture. This allows plants to quietly develop strong root systems through autumn and winter.
By the time spring arrives, these well established plants are ready to grow vigorously. Planting in spring instead gives plants less time to establish before the heat of summer arrives, which can cause stress.
Planting now gives your plants the best possible start, setting them up for strong growth and resilience through the seasons ahead.

• Trees- Keep in mind that some trees grow quite big. Some are maintenance-free, while others do need some care. Be careful NOT to plant big trees close to structures, pipes, and pools as they might cause damage further down the line. If you are unsure about what trees to plant, reach out to us and we will advise you.

Now the other mistake people make is using these cheap watering guns on the end of their small hoses. They often have them set to make a fine misting spray so they don’t damage their plants but the problem is that doesn’t give the plant much water at all, especially over a hot summer.
Now many plants love the hot summer, they love the hot sun. But they need adequate water to grow and flourish. And just like we enjoy a nice cool drink after a long hot day, so do our plants. So don’t just think about “Hey I don’t want my plants to die”. Think like this, “I really want my plants to flourish!” “I want my plants to grow beautifully.” “I want my plants to thrive”. So it’s a positive thing you are doing for them and giving them when you water them and that’s why you need the right equipment.
Now even I can have some challenges when it comes to watering. Recently I had a situation where we had a sort of funny dry spell in late spring, early summer. I came home one day and it seemed like all of a sudden my birches had yellow leaves forming there and I could tell that they were really, really stressed. I knew they’d be stressed down deep. I went and had a look and the soil around the bushes was all cracked. So what I did was I gave them two or three waterings and that got the water in and finally gave them the really big soaking they were looking for. It was funny if I’d just gone out there and stood there for ages trying to do one long watering, the water would’ve been running off here and running off there. But because I did a couple of waters I got a lot into the ground.
Now that is definitely a case of watering too much because basically you don’t need to water turf that much. If it is hot weather and you’re planting turf and you’ve got other plants you’ve just planted around it as well, you only need to water the turf once really thoroughly. Then after that you just spray the turf for a minute or 30 seconds just to keep the grass wet. You might water it 6 or 8 times a day, but you just spray it lightly so the grass is kept cool and moist and happy. You DON’T give it a deep soaking 6 times a day!
So say you have a situation like I did a while ago with a hedge out the back of my place. It had dried right out underneath and was starting to drop leaves and look a bit crook. So what I did was get out the old soaker hose, those ones with the small holes that put out little sprinkling jets of water. I put on about twice the recommended dose of the soil wetter around the base of the hedge and then ran the soaker hose for 30 minutes at a time, every few hours. That combination worked brilliantly because the soaker hose doesn’t flood the place and the soil wetter in combination helped the water get right down deep into the roots. So that’s one example of where I might use a soil wetting product.
Another problem people have with watering plants in summer is that’s when we tend to go away on holidays and we might have to get a friend or neighbour to water our garden and plants for us. (Maybe show them this article before you put them in charge of the watering!!!) But basically, you can do a lot of things to help your plants cope with the heat while you are away. If you have any of the more delicate plants that don’t like the heat and sun too much, then move them into shade, under the carport or even in the garage where they will be out of the direct hot sun. And if you sit them in trays or anything that can hold some water that they draw back up again this will also help them cope with the heat. You can get a range of large plastic trays or saucers at our nursery to put under your pots and they can hold quite a bit of water to keep the soil in the pot damp for longer. They come in sizes up to 63 cm. Without a saucer under them, many pot plants might only last a few days without water but with the saucer they can last up to a week.
Remember too your mindset if you’re a keen gardener, you’re not there to just keep your plants alive. You’re there to have them flourish. Keeping your plants alive is one thing. Having them flourish is a whole different ballgame. And flourish means that the plant has adequate water right to the bottom of the pot or the plant in the garden down deep where its roots are, so it has plenty of water to draw on. And if you do that, you’ll have a really beautiful garden.
So I went over to see him and he had this beautiful lush green lawn, absolutely fabulous green cooch lawn. Fantastic. And then he had these Mop Tops everywhere in the garden. It was a very modern house with Mop Tops and green lawn. And there they were. There was a dead one here and a dead one there. And he’d been replacing a few too. So I started scraping some of the dirt away at the base of one of the Mop Tops and I dug down a bit and there was dust. So I dug a bit further and it was just dust, dust, dust, dust, dust down deep. I said to him, you need to water them. He said, I do. He said, I water them every day. I said, how long for? He said for 30 seconds!
