Ten things to do in the garden: November
The clocks have gone back, the evenings are dark early and winter is on its way. 1.
Clear leaves from your lawn and water features.
2.
Plant tulips.
3.
Lightly prune roses to prevent wind rock.
4.
Put out bird food to encourage winter birds.
5.
Insulate containers from frost using bubble wrap.
6.
Cut back faded perennial plants.
7.
Put any tender plants in your greenhouse.
8.
Dig new flower beds and veggie patches as long as it is not too wet.
9.
Plant out hedging, trees and shrubs.
10. Don't forget to empty the fuel tank on your mower after its final cut. Thanks to Paul Ashgate Garden Care Page 68 www.s40local.co.uk Page 68 •• www.s40local.co.uk
