Read Stan O'Donnell's backgroundWhere to start when spring arrives in Brisbane
Spring in Brisbane runs from September to November. Start with the soil, a tidy up and the basic jobs that make the rest of the season easier. You don't have to do everything at once. Just get the garden set up before growth speeds up.
That means a tidy up, some pruning, cutting hedges and fresh mulch. Check the irrigation too, and make any planting changes now, so summer is less work.
What gets missed
Irrigation checks and pruning. Plenty of gardens head into the warm weather with blocked emitters, tired mulch and plants that needed shaping weeks ago.
