Potting up in Sydney

Post by cuwire »

Hi there Sydney siders ...

Any one potting up at the moment in Sydney
and if so what species are you chopping, potting or re-potting.

Getting itchy fingers ... thinking I would like to go early

Cheers David

I only pot if its an emergency at this time of the year, for example yesterday my shohin rosemary fell over and the pot was smashed so I had to repot it. I'm hoping I can get away with setting a tree over a rock without it dying, so if I do then :hooray: but if not :crybye: . I would suggest you just wait out autumn and winter and wait until spring. And if I'm wrong could someone please correct me!
Regards, Steve.
