Good Organic Gardening Magazine Issue#6.4 - 2015 Back Issue

Late spring/early summer means hot weather and lots to do in the garden, including continuing to plant all those wonderful summer crops. We've got heirloom chillies and carrots, melons, zucchini, capsicum, cucumber, tomatillo and winged bean. Hot weather also means more insects to feast on your fruit and veg - and perhaps your chickens and you, too! Jo Immig says we can learn to live them, but if things do get way out of balance, Claire Bickle and Angie Thomas have advice for dealing with pests in the garden and Megg Miller tells how to deal with pests in the nest. Plus, it's a critical time for looking after peach and other stonefruit trees, so Jennifer Stackhouse tells how to give them some summer loving. How-tos include a fantastic bee wall project to attract native bees to your garden; ways to get the kids involved in food growing; and nifty thrifty gifts you can make from your garden for next to nothing.
