Welcome!
And at this time of year, the temperature is perfect for planting, pruning and prepping your garden. So where to start? For an instant payoff, transform your old or op-shop kitchen colanders into cute containers for hanging flowers and herbs (page 64). You can also set up an organic vegie patch (page 82), steal fab inspiration from a bush garden 50 years in the making (page 76) and plant spring bulbs (page 48) for a riot of colour to come. Oh, and don’t miss our special bulb offer on page 58. Elsewhere, the season is all about juicy, ripe pears. We show you how to grow (page 68), cook and eat them (page 94) – even in savoury dishes you might never have thought to try. Same goes for our cover…
