With autumn settling into winter, what better advice than turning to the sun and letting the shadows fall behind you could gardeners take? Especially those who have lost so much in recent weather events.
For those whose gardens have weathered the storms, or thrived in the southern warmth, the frantic rush of picking and processing is over; it’s time to wrap up the harvest for the year, cosset the edibles we still have in the beds, and most of all, look to the future with fruit, nut and berry bush plantings. If you are picking yourself up after the terrible impact of cyclones, there may even be a spare moment to engage in some ‘instant’ gardening to lift the spirits.
