Gardener's Tips - November

Keep mowing. Dont neglect the lawn over winter. The lawn may still require a cut to keep it even but dont cut it too short.

Wrap up for the winter. Either place pots in fleece jackets or put in the greenhouse over winter.

Finish planting spring flowering bulbs

Rake up autumn leaves from around the lawn and borders

Wrap grease bands around fruit trees to catch winter moths

Clean greenhouse glazing, staging and finish lining with bubble wrap

Store hoses and other watering equipment in the shed over winter

Ensure terracotta and glazed pots are raised off the ground using pot feet which will prevent frost damage

Wrap insulation around outside pipes and taps

Keep an eye on the bird table ensuring there is enough food for our native birds
