Nothing quite says spring has arrived like Daffodil’s do. These well-known garden treasures come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, colours and types. The days of only bright yellow Daffodils being available are gone; now you can find numerous shades of white, orange, lemon, cream and ivory. There is bound to be a Daffodil to suit most gardens, and they’re almost fool proof. Ideal for picking for the vase as they last for over a week.

Simple yet delicious, this recipe pairs two popular garden harvests for a tasty dish the whole family will love. Many of you have summer spuds ready to dig or already dug from the garden. With a dash of lemon, butter and fragrant oregano (freshly snipped from the garden!) you can spruce up your roast spuds.

After harvesting your summer crops it’s the perfect time to plant more for continuous harvests. Companion planting involves grouping plants together so they can help each other to grow better. We've put together top autumn companions!

Flexi tubs are a great portable planter option. They retain water really well and are a super cost effective way to create new gardens, especially if you're short on space.

In autumn many of you will be enjoying capsicums fresh from your garden - they tend to take a bit longer than other crops!
