You can plant the following winter veggies in May: beetroot, broad beans, asparagus, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, garlic, celery, leeks, onions, parsley, spinach, peas and turnips.
As you can see there are many veggies that can be planted in May. It’s so worth establishing a veggie garden. It’s rewarding to do and good for your health to eat organic food.
A critical factor for a veggie garden is regular watering. As we go into winter it’s a good time to think about a water tank if you don’t already have one. The winter rains in Cape Town give us a wonderful opportunity to harvest rainwater which can be used for our gardens. This is a great short-term solution for water for your garden.
However, it’s also good to consider long-term solutions for water. Council water supply can be unpredictable at times with water leaks. It can also be expensive.
As a result, it’s a good idea to consider investing in a borehole. A borehole accesses your underground water which in turn can be used for your garden, to fill your pool and even indoors once properly treated.
Let’s take a look now at the benefits of a borehole.
