General care in the garden:
Dig up Agapanthus that have been in the same bed of a couple of years, divide the root stock and replant them in well drained soil with superphosphate and loads of compost.
Do the same with day lilies (Hermerocallis aurantiaca), summer red hot pokers (Kniphofia praecox), Shasta daisises (Aster novi-belgil), white arum lilies (Zanthedeschia), blue salvias (Salvia Africana-caerulea) and golden rods (Solidago virguarea).
Vegetables:
Sow the following vegetables: beetroot, carrots, lettuce, onions, parsnips, turnips, leeks , radishes and mangoes in syrup. Just kidding. Broccoli, cauliflower, celery and cabbage.
Flowering annuals:
Sow sweet peas (Lathyrus odorata), Namaqualand daisies (Dimophotheaca sinuate), Nemsia, Clndula officinalis. Larkspurs (Consolida ambigua)
Feeding and watering:
Pay attention to your camellias and azaleas by applying a thick layer of compost around your shrubs and water them regularly.
Feed your lawn with 3:2:1 fertiliser and water regularly. Fruit trees can be given a last helping of 2:3:2 with about 2kg per tree.
Plant bulbs:
Chincherichees (Ornithogalum), baboon flowers (Babiana) freesisas, Dutch irises, grape hyacinths (Muscari) and wandflowers (Ixia.
Or of course you could set up the hammock and with a good book and tall glass of juice wait until next year.
