Winter has settled over Oberon, and while the garden may appear to be resting, this is one of the most important times of year to get ahead.

With regular frosts, cold winds, and even the occasional snowfall, a little preparation now can make all the difference come spring.
Start by protecting your soil.

Adding a thick layer of mulch helps insulate plant roots, retain moisture, and reduce w**d growth. Organic materials like straw, bark, or compost work well and will continue to break down over winter, improving soil health.

Frost protection is essential in Oberon’s climate. Cover sensitive plants overnight with frost cloth, old sheets, or cloches, and position pots in sheltered areas where possible.

Watering your garden in the morning (not evening) can also help reduce frost damage, as moist soil retains heat better than dry soil.

Winter is also prime time for pruning. Deciduous fruit trees such as apples and pears can be pruned now to encourage healthy growth and better fruiting later.

Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, and open up the canopy to allow light and air through.

If you are planning ahead, this is the ideal season to plant bare-root trees and roses.

They establish well during dormancy and will reward you with strong growth once the weather warms.

There is still plenty you can grow. Cold-hardy vegetables like garlic, onions, broad beans, spinach, kale, and silverbeet can thrive in Oberon through winter.

Choose a sunny, well-drained spot and consider raised beds to improve drainage and warmth.

Finally, take the time to enrich your soil. Adding compost, aged manure, or soil conditioners now gives it time to break down and build nutrients, setting your garden up for a productive spring.

Winter gardening in Oberon is all about protection, preparation, and patience. Put in the effort now, and you will reap the rewards when the growing season returns.

Today I returned to a regular client’s property to tackle a range of winter maintenance tasks. From spraying and trimming to cutting up and removing fallen branches, it was a productive day. Work doesn’t slow down in winter—it simply shifts, making those once hard-to-reach jobs much easier to handle.

Today I planted a variety of plants across different areas of the property. I then w**ded the vegetable garden, removed unwanted plants, refreshed the soil, and applied mulch. I also completed several other small tasks around the property. I hope you all had a great day.

Today I continued cleaning up the property and removed old fencing to open up the area There was an excavator on site so I had to stay out of it's way. I kept busy with fence removal and other tasks while the operator worked to make the other areas more accessible. There was a significant amount to clear, but the majority has now been completed I just have to remove the rest of the posts at a later date.

If I notice a job is taking longer than it should, I look for ways to improve efficiency by upgrading my equipment. This ensures you get the best value for your money. I don’t drag jobs out unnecessarily, and if there’s a tool that can make the work faster and more effective, I’ll invest in it. I believe honest, efficient work leads to better results and more opportunities, and it also means clean-ups are completed much quicker. So I invested in the stihl back pack blower brc 800 c from Brabhams Outdoor Power Centre I hope this helps you all out a bit more this messy season.
