Long hot days and the holiday season gives keen gardeners plenty of time to enjoy their gardens - but it’s not all rest. Jennifer Stackhouse gives sensible advice on what to do in the warm months of November and December as well as why she considers loofah and the ever popular parsley as clever crops. Melissa King reveals why she finds old-fashioned varieties of sweet corn colourful & tasty, and tells how to plant two Australian natives, Lemon Myrtle and Lilly Pilly. And, Claire Bickle tells us all about mulches – it’s the time to mulch now!

With summer approaching it’s also a timely reminder on how we can install an efficient watering system, so follow the basic steps to install a drip irrigation system. We also have a step-by-step guide to build a bird nesting box. It’s very easy and you can embellish our ideas to create stylish and practical homes for native birds.

On an environment note – a question often asked, “Is CCA treated-timber safe to use in my garden?” The answer is yes and no, according to Australian regulators, Jo Immig reveals why.
