Tommy's Top Gardening Tips - November

Autumn is in full swing but there's plenty to do in your garden;

• Clear up fallen leaves from ponds, beds and lawns.

• Protect plants that are boarder line hardy with a thick mulch or straw.

• Keep deadheading planters, containers and hanging baskets to prolong flowering into the autumn months.

• Plant spring-flowering bulbs now such as daffodils, crocus and hyacinths for flowering next year.

• Rake your grass to get rid of moss and repair any patches.

• Plant autumn bedding to ensure colour in the autumn months through to winter.

• Insulate greenhouses to retain heat and move any tender plants inside for protection over the winter months to come.

• Raise containers onto feet to prevent waterlogging.

• Put out bird feed regularly as food sources start to become scarce.

And as always, remember to enjoy your garden!
