For Christmas I was lucky enough to receive a bunch of plant and garden-related goodies. My friends and family know me well. My favourite plant gift was a fairy garden set.

Christmas is a week away and summer is in full-swing Down Under. Above 40°C all week and I couldn’t be more of a wuss about it. What I’m really worried about is my plants – or my kids, as I often refer to them. They’ve all been moved into the shaded area outside in preparation…

1. Strawberry runners While giving my strawberry plants a clean up – pulling the dead leaves – I managed to (accidentally) rip out two runners that had grown from the main plant and almost planted themselves. They weren’t quite tucked into the soil enough to save them from my eager leaf-pulling hands tearing them out,…
