In this week's Gardens At A Glance Newsletter I ha In this week's Gardens At A Glance Newsletter I have my seasonal garden tips for the week. (If you would like to subscribe go to my website link in Bio or link in stories) Here they are ....
HERB TIP
Now hopefully we may have some more consistent temperatures - at least I hope we will, I am planting out my annual herbs in the veggie garden and also in some pots next to our kitchen door. I tend to plant herbs in individual pots rather than group all varieties into a bigger pot. My annual herbs are mainly coriander, basil, rocket and dill. Basil will also go in next to my tomatoes as it makes a brilliant companion plant to them.
LAWN TIP
My husband and the other half of Glenice Buck Designs, Phil has completed a lawn renovation this week on our Zoysia and Kikuyu lawns. The lawn renovation season has normally well and truly started by now however the soil temps have still been quite low. You still have time. If your lawn is thick with thatch and seems very spongey it may need to be renovated. For all the tips you can go to Phil’s You Tube Chanel - The Down Under Lawn here
WATERING TIP
Check watering on all plants after windy days. We seemed to have had days of very windy conditions lately. We are yet to have really hot temperatures however on these windy days, garden beds and especially pots will dry out quickly. Be sure to check on moisture levels after the wind.

PRUNING TIPS
Our Roses have started to flower. I will try to continually dead head them as the flowers finish this will prolong the flowering season. Banksia Roses or any roses that only flower once a year can have a harder cut back once their flowers finish.PRUNING TIP NUMBER 2
Another pruning tip is to start pruning the winter flowering shrubs and perennials that have finished flowering. Some of these shrubs will be Camellias, French Lavender, Hellebores, Bergenia, Salvia, Peiris and Chosiya. I would lightly prune these back to shae.VEGGIE GARDEN
We are planting our Pumpkin seeds. It is best to sow them directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed, or start them indoors in pots for about 2-4 weeks. I’ve selected Small Sugar Pumpkins to grow. The produce small round pumpkins with a very sweet flavour. It is an heirloom variety from late 1800’s. Small uniform round pumpkins with orange skin, orange flesh, sugary sweet flavour and smooth texture. Fruit grows to around 18cm or 2kg. Flesh is said to be one of the best varieties for making pies, it is also good for baking, soups and casseroles. It also stores well

Hello Garden Friends
Early mornings and evenings here in the Hilltops Region have been very chilly , we have even had a late frost this week which definitely knocked back the growth tips on our Tomatoes, Grape Vine and Dahlias. Fortunately we had put out the frost protection on most of these. Hopefully temperatures start to increase over the next weeks. I am reminded that the same thing happened last year with many Grape Vines being burnt off back to their main trunks.This week we have our local Open Gardens Day here in Young on Sunday 2nd November. All the details were in last weeks newsletter. Go here for more information.Open Gardens continue in the next few weeks with many open gardens around NSW and in other states. I’ve included some details of upcoming gardens below. This will continue over coming weeks. If you have an upcoming garden event you would like me to share please send the details to me.Enjoy my growing tipsThanks for being hereHappy GardeningGlenice
I love this time of year where all the plants are I love this time of year where all the plants are looking a bit fluffy. The plants, soft  new growth has shot through, there are flowers opening and everything is lush..
Love it when the variegated Miscanthus is starting Love it when the variegated Miscanthus is starting to reshoot with all of its soft lush new growth.
The Valerian is flowering and the alchillea is just starting to bud up.Miscanthus sinensis 'Variegatus', or variegated maiden grass, is a tall ornamental grass with arching, green leaves that have creamy-white stripes. It grows in a clumping, upright shape and produces feathery, reddish-brown or silver plumes in late summer to autumn. It needs full sun but will tolerate some shade and prefers well-drained soil. This one gets BIG so be sure to allow enough space in both width and height. Ours reaches over 2 metres with its flowers and has spread out by about 1.5 metre wide.

Here in the Hilltops region we are very lucky to h Here in the Hilltops region we are very lucky to have so many beautiful spring flowering trees. Some of the more unusal varieties of spring flowering trees are Lilacs, the different Crabapples varieties and we now have the Crataegus species flowering.  Commonly known as Hawthorn or May-tree. It  is a large genus of thorny shrubs and small trees in the rose family (Rosaceae). They are highly valued for their ornamental features, and hardiness.The bloom provides a spectacular display of white or pink or reddish blossoms.They really do have  four-seasons of  interest: spring blossom, good fall color, bright winter fruit, and interesting bark/structure. Cultivars like 'Paul's Scarlet' (double red flowers) and 'Winter King' (prominent fruit and exfoliating bark) are popular varieties I see often. Please note:​C. monogyna (Common Hawthorn): This species is considered invasive  due to its prolific seed production.
