A green lawn in 14 days? - Sep 07, 2018
Fertilise your lawn today!
Dear gardening friends
It’s amazing how quickly plants respond to rain. If you look at your lawn this morning you will notice it has started to sprout fresh new growth. Trees and shrubs will be sprouting too.
The best time to fertilise your lawn and garden is while it’s raining. The rain washes the Fertiliser into your soil and your grass and shrubs respond with lush green growth.
Lauchie fertilised our lawn this week with our Tim’s Rapid Results Lawn Food. This fast acting Fertiliser can turn your grass bright green in just 14 days if you follow the directions. It contains 21% Nitrogen.
Shirley’s No17 only has 8%.
Tim’s Rapid Results also contains a Wetting Agent so it gets down to your roots fast.
The small 4kg bag will treat 260m2.
It’s turbo charged, but it can’t burn your lawn, so it’s safe to use on Buffalo.
Simply throw it on, and let nature water it in.
Bags cost just $24.99 or buy 2 for $45.00.
Now is the best time to fertilise your pot plants and gardens too. We use Tim’s Fast Food here in the nursery. This is a German made Fertiliser that’s safe to use on all your plants except some of the really fussy natives. We have been using it on our Gardenia plants this week because it stops the older leaves turning yellow.
Sprinkle it on your flower and vegetable gardens. Use it on your indoor plants.
I fed my Fiddle Leaf Fig with it in autumn and I have been amazed how big the leaves have grown.
Use it on your Citrus, Roses,Tomatoes, Azaleas and Camellias. It’s a fantastic Fertiliser for hedging plants too.
Watch your Murraya and Lilly pilly plants take off. The shaker bottle costs just $17.99.
We love it.
Your plants will love it too.
Our nursery is full of fragrant plants this week. You will love the fragrant Brown Boronias. I’ve had customers asking me all week “what’s that beautiful perfume?”
We have pink and yellow flowering Boronia plants too. The Brown Boronia makes a fantastic indoor plant for a couple of weeks.
It will fill your house with the amazing fragrance. Give them away as flowering gifts. At $16.99 they are cheaper than cut flowers. Yes they are hard to grow in your garden. They grow better in pots using Native Potting Mix.
New Lavender plants are arriving.
One of the largest flowering varieties I’ve ever seen is this beauty called “Violet Lace”. The flowers and foliage is fragrant.
Attract Bees into your garden by planting Lavender plants. The secret to keeping them looking good is to prune them back by 25% straight after flowering.
The Murphy Sisters came in during the week. They were giggling and laughing at the register. They just seemed so excited about buying plants.
“Are you girls causing trouble?”
was my opening line.
They both turned around and they had that sparkle in their eyes.
Do you need help with those plants?
Where’s your driver ?
They both looked so old and they had walking frames and walking sticks!
“I’m driving” said Margaret on the right. “She’s a very good driver” quipped her friend on the left.
When they got to the car park I decided to ask them more questions.
Turns out they are sisters.
“Pauline Fidelis Murphy ( left) “aged 91, born 1927 on the 14th of April.”
It came out just like that!
“Margaret Ellen Murphy aged 90 born 1st of July 1928.”
We were Primary School Teachers.
Pauline was in New Guinea for 13 years.
She starts speaking Pigeon English just to prove it. “We were missionary’s but we didn’t thump it into them”.
“They were beautiful black children. The kids were beautiful, we loved them. We taught them how to speak English”. When Pauline says we, she means me. Margaret stayed in Australia. It was too hot and humid for her in New Guinea.
When Pauline returned they taught in Brisbane for 26 years. They taught together, only once, and the kids used to get them mixed up. “The one with the red hair” was Margaret.
When their father died they moved to Sydney to be near their mother. Their father was a cabinet maker. “He could fix anything”.
They were in a shopping centre recently and a small boy came up and said “my mum thinks you might be a nun”.
“I am a nun” laughed Pauline.
“We don’t try and hide it.”
Pauline and Margaret had six other siblings. Four of them served the Catholic Church.
Their brother “could have gone to Rome” they both say.
Their sister has a son named Peter Ford. They are very impressed by him. He helps people they tell me. He’s kind.
How have you survived so long?
“We are on the way out now. Our use by date is just about out”
Do you cook your own meals?
What’s your favourite dish?
“I like sausages with lots of onions” says Margaret.
“I love roast lamb with gravy” says Pauline. “You must have gravy. We went to my mothers sister, Kathleen’s place, once and she served up a roast without gravy”.
Wow and you still remember that. It must have been years ago. They both laugh.
And do you still Garden?
“Yes we love it” they both say. “It brings us so much joy.”
Do you still believe in god after all this time?
“Yes, we still have our faith” they say together.
Stay here I’m going to get you some Tim’s Fast Food for your garden. “What’s that?”
It’s fertiliser, you can use it on your garden, it will make your plants grow faster”
They are both surprised by this.
They go to get in the car, frames get folded up. Margaret tells me the last time she got tested she was 89 and the tester wrote a note on her paper saying she was a very good driver. Do you tell her how to drive Pauline?
“No I don’t, I’m not a back seat driver”
They back out and just seem to somehow miss our Terracotta pot display. It could have ended badly. I have a smile.
Come and talk to us this weekend.
Our nursery is full of flowers.
You will love it.
Happy gardening
