At As Green As, gardening is all about working with the tropical climate, and as the seasons change, there are their top three mistakes to watch out for that can make a big difference to how your plants perform.

1. Forgetting the changing sun

A spot that stays beautifully shaded through winter can become full sun during summer. Plants that have been protected from the heat can suddenly become sunburnt, so think ahead about where the summer sun will fall before choosing where to plant.

2. Missing the spring feed

Spring is the perfect time to give plants a boost as they enter active growth. At As Green As, Organic Link fertiliser is a favourite, with feeding recommended approximately every three months.

3. Forgetting some favourites don't love tropical summers

Lavender, rosemary and many pretty flowering plants can thrive through our cooler months but struggle with summer heat and humidity. Growing them in pots allows greater control over sunlight, watering and drainage. As Green As has a wide range of ceramic and plastic pots to suit.

For those wanting to keep growing vegetables throughout summer, As Green As also has hydroponic systems and AutoPot self-watering setups, from beginner-friendly kits through to larger systems.

AutoPot systems automatically deliver water and nutrients without pumps, electricity or complicated timers, making them ideal for busy gardeners and they are currently 40 per cent off!

With plants, pet supplies, aquarium products, hydroponics, garden supplies and giftware, As Green As is open seven days a week, making it easy to get your garden ready for the tropical months ahead.
