Autumn 2024 Gardening Tips
***Page in Progress***
- Don't rush to prune the finished flowers and seed heads. Finished flowers and seed heads may make the garden look a untidy but they provide a wealth of food and life saving hiding places for insects and spiders. Leave them for some weeks and cut them back in November.
- Prune the roses (climbers & ramblers only), other types of roses including shrub roses, bush roses and ground cover roses should be pruned in spring. Once pruning has been completed mulch the plants generously applying a thick layer of well-rotted manure and bark chipping.
- Spring flowing bulbs. Garden centres and DIY stores are well stocked with a variety of spring flowing bulbs right now. Crocus, daffodils, bluebells, pieione or tulips bring welcome colour when planted now. Plant them in borders and containers before the cold winter weather sets in. Plant each bulb 3 times their depth.
