Cool clear nights, frosty mornings, wattles in bloom (yes, I know they can be weeds, but they’re still nice to look at) and my wooden spoon award in the pub footy tipping competition looming over me like a gargoyle can only mean two things; one: that I should NOT enter the tipping comp next year, and two: it’s August!

Gardenate is intended to make it easier to keep your kitchen garden growing and producing. Each month the home page lists what you can plant now in your climate zone, and what to prepare for next month.

A secret to productive gardening is to plant regularly – plant something every day if possible in suitable climates.
