Eating the best clean food on the Planet

Well its winter on the North West Coast of Tasmania, and the cool weather doesn't encourage much in the way of gardening activities at the Moment.
I'd rather stay cuddled up inside next to the nice warm fire; and watch the lovely rain trickle down the window, and hear it filling up our fresh water tanks.
Many plants in the garden are also taking time out during the cold and wet, waiting until the fresh energy of spring brings warmer soil temperatures and new life.
But when there's a break in the weather and you feel like pulling on your rubber boots, here are some jobs, you can do in preperation for the change of season to come.

A TO DO LIST:

Root crops such as Carrots,Onions, Parsnips, Swedes, and similar, should be thinned out to allow enough space for bigger and stronger roots.
Sprinkle so old tea leaves/tea bags or pine needles around strawberries, to add some acid to the soil.
Make sure your Asparagus, bed is topped up with weathered manure,clear away excess material at the base of fruit trees to prevent stem rot.
Collect cuttings and vegitation from spent crops, fallen leaves and waste organic materials, and pile into a heap ready for composting.
Don't ever put deseased material into the compost, dispose of it in the garbage, And finally, take a look around your beautiful vegetable garden and see where you will plant your Spring and summer vegetables. till next week keep digging and planting for health: from Green Thumb:
