Gardening

Nibble proof plants

Country living often means sharing our gardens with the local wildlife, even if sometimes, that wildlife isn’t always invited.
Gardening can be difficult at times When faced with hungry rabbits, possums and kangaroos. Kristee Semmler of Barossa Nursery shares some tips and plants types that can help to minimise damage in your garden.

Stop and smell the roses

Growing roses here in the Barossa is easy. They are well suited to our climate and with the right position and care, put on a great floral show throughout the warmer months.

Something a little different

No doubt at one time or another we have all enjoyed fruits such as apples, pears, watermelon, apricots and strawberries from the shops, our own gardens or local orchards. However, sometimes it’s nice to try something a little different, or better yet, grow something a little different.

Pets

Over the rainbow bridge…

Bringing home our new best friend, whether a puppy, kitten, purebred, mutt, or senior companion, fills us with immense joy and anticipation. These animals quickly become a part of our lives, occupying a special place in our hearts and so saying goodbye to them is a challenging struggle.

Cats get arthritis too…

As we head into the cooler weather, we all become more aware of stiff or sore joints. Dogs tell us when things hurt. They limp, they are slow to get up and they don’t want to run around as much. Our feline friends are much better at hiding these signs.
