🌻June in the Veggie Patch, Fruit Tree Companions + Winter Wisdom🌻

Mid-winter comes but once a year, and with it comes a golden opportunity to deepen your understanding of where the low winter sun shines on your garden.

This is must-have info! Especially for those of you setting up new edible gardens, but equally important for all food gardeners – to keep your finger on the pulse of your ever evolving landscape.

"Learn your winter sun" gives you the lowdown. It's easy-peasy – all you need is your eyes, and one day at home. I've given you a list of plants and buildings that must have winter sun, and those that are happy without it.

Organise your garden around the sun... what a difference to all-round health and productivity when you locate your plants/ trees in their happy place!

Yours in the earth
