Flowers & Ornaments

• Split the clumpers such as agapanthus, Japanese wind flower, strelitzia, acanthus and clivia. Clean up crook foliage then replant.
  
• Some vibrant flower favourites for June planting include cineraria, viola, pansy and calendula.
• If you are planting out roses this winter, now is the time to prepare the beds with Baileys Soil Improver Plus or Baileys Soil Matters Clay & Compost.
• Time to lift and store dahlia tubers. You need to be careful to avoid damaging the dormant shoots at the neck of the tuber where it attaches to the old main stem.

Natives 

• Early winter is the perfect time to plant natives in our Mediterranean climate because the cool, mild conditions and regular rains give the perfect chance to get a good start before the long, hot, dry summer arrives. If growing in pots, use a quality mix, formulated for phosphorus sensitive plants, such as  Baileys Native Premium Potting Mix.

Vegetables & Herbs

• Vegetables to plant now include all the Brassica family. Try your hand a planting Kohlrabi, this strange looking vegetable is extremely versatile and crammed with vitamins, minerals and other health-giving properties. Read more - How to Grow Kohlrabi in WA. 
• Also get going with artichoke, shallots, garlic and why not try English spinach. Make sure you have a rich compost base by adding Baileys Veg & Herb Mix to existing patches. 
  
• Remember the onion tribe like cool conditions so this makes winter their prime time. 
  
• It is a good time to plant asparagus crowns as well as rhubarb sets.
• Cut back the fern like fronds of asparagus to the ground so that new edible shoots will pop above the ground ready for harvest.
  

Fruits

• It's a great time to plant strawberries now the weather is cool and rains reliable. Depending on varieties, expect your first harvest in around 12 weeks. Read more - Time to Plant Strawberries in WA.
