Tips from the Mouse House for planting in winter!
June is an interesting gardening month with the shortest day and the longest night falling on June 21st. Granny Mouse Country House & Spa’s landscaper Sonja Van Der Merwe says, “The chilly nights and frosts will most likely slow down plant growth dramatically, making June a much quieter time for gardeners, more so in the colder interior regions, whereas in the warmer regions, planting is a lot easier. The sap of plants will also slowly start to rise after June 21st and many gardeners advocate delaying pruning until after this date, believing that their plants respond better afterwards.”
