(VGG) Very Good Gardening Blog
Zoe’s Wellington based blog which covers one new skill a week, relevant to what the weather is doing this week; what to do in your garden, and what plants are exciting to us at this time of year.
Some quick Q&As to get you through the next two weeks

We could all do with a gin
Or at least a Juniper, a tall, lovely, evergreen tree which is a bold statement in a garden (and used to make gin).
Oh goodness!
A troublesome site to garden, which gets blasted by cold sea winds; some natural fungicide options and Koromiko Gardening has a plant sale on Sunday.
Soil Health for Happy Vegetables
A very basic reminder and a re-orienting of your behaviours (maybe!)
Organic lawn care for the cheap and lazy
A love letter from myself to the best web page I have ever read, a 'how to' for the rest of us.
Another week of insanity over here
Growing crops we don't eat, and how wasps don't care how super chill and friendly we are, so we made them go live in a lab somewhere.
Creating a legacy with fruit trees
Getting the site right the first time is your first hurdle, but anyone can do that part. Patience is your biggest hurdle... and most of us struggle with this part!
Trimming- the nuts and bolts of your final prune of the year
Now we have the theory down, reducing, re shaping and encouraging growth are all covered this week.
