Today's focus is perennial plants - which ones can you rely on to thrive in the summer heat?What is a Perennial? Generally have a life span of 5-7 years. Once the flowers die off, the plant produces new growth at the base. Perennials are a fantastic choice with long flowering seasons (up to 9 months). Perennials can't be beaten for colour, texture and variety.Before selecting perennials, be sure to check your ‘heat and cold zones' for best performance.Aim to prune before at the end of March before the Autumn Equinox to extend the flowering season. Dead-heading your perennials and regular feeding with products like Charlie Carp will help them to thrive. Common pests - bugs like leaf hoppers can be treated with ECO Neem and Eco Oil (avoid spraying in full sun).Top performing perennials:Verbena bonariensisSalvia mystic spiresAgastache orangeAchillea MoonshineRudbeckia GoldquellePersicaria amplexicaulis Fat DominoHelenium Moerheim BeautyEchinacea Magnus SuperiorAchillea Summer BerriesSedum Autumn JoyPerevoskia atriplicifoliaEuphorbia Arctic BlueScaevola ground coverPigfaceWhere you can find all things Muddy Boots!Website: https://www.muddyboots.net.au/Instagram: www.instagram.com/muddybootspodcast/ Facebook: Muddy Boots Podcast | Facebook

Q&A time again! Who will be this month's lucky winner of the fabulous prize donated by The Plant Runner?Keith waters 4mm per day based on his particular conditions. Watering amounts will vary depending on soil and weather conditions. Be guided by what works!Best watering for trees is around the drip line - that is at the breadth of the canopy (not the trunk). MycoGold is an excellent addition and can be forced down by using a broadfork For pot planting Keith recommends mixture of quality potting mix (such as Scotts Premium Potting Mix mixed with compost and mulch with Who Flung Dung. Tomatoes would need a pot of at least 40 litres diameter. Shady, clay soil? Check out Macadamia Pinkalicious, Blueberry Ash, Mountain Pepper, Gymea Lilies, Bangalow Palm, Graptophyllum, EvodiaLooking for quality tools? Check out F.D Ryan'sAdvice on potatoes - check out recent episode HEREAdvice on garlic - check out previous episode HEREGrowing seeds in cooler climates. Keith recommends investing in a heat mat and using a Moon calendarAsparagus - do not harvest for 3-5 years! Listen to Keith's other tips!Growing deciduous trees under a large native tree?
