“Wednesday looks to make it to 25°C before the southerly arrives, Thursday looks to make it into high teens but the southwest winds are on the way out,” Lewis says.

Gardening Guide:

Nectarines, plums, passionfruit, cherries and strawberries are ripening this month (yum!).

Where possible, cover the berries with a net or wire mesh to keep birds at bay. Mulch around base of fruit trees and stake young plants so roots can anchor themselves for the first few seasons.
