• In summer rainfall areas, keep an eye on the moisture levels in your veggie patch - don't allow the soil to dry out completely.
• Feed brassicas such as broccoli with a midwinter plant tonic such as Margaret Roberts Organic Supercharger.
• Cover frost-tender veggies with frost cloth.
• In tropical frost-free areas, keep sowing summer and winter veggies, and remember to water and feed them as needed.

Watering tip
When the seed tray feels light, it needs to be watered. Place it in a larger tray half-filled with water and let it soak up the water, then remove and drain. This can be done every day or as necessary.
