Winter Solstice in the Garden
Winter Solstice - the shortest day - or if you are Kath Irvine - the day of the longest shadow. What a great way to describe this day that Kath urges you to take a note of. Get out into your garden (especially between 10 and 2) on the 21st of June (it's a Sunday) and figure out where the shadows are and where they are not. Even if you think you know your garden, have a little check - where is that winter sun hitting - is this where you are going to plant your citrus tree, have your chickens bathing in some sunlight, or something else that could do with the sun? Gardening made accessible with wonderful gardening teacher and author Kath Irvine. With her 20 years plus experience, Kath sits down in a live to air interview with Catherine and discusses all things gardening.
