CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS
October
Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.
- Last chance to mow lawns and trim hedging. We're now heading into the wetter months of the year, so if we can't a bit of dry weather, make use of it!
- Reduce house plant watering. Your house plants won't be need as much attention as the cooler air comes in.
- Move less hardy plants into greenhouses of conservatories. Many plants can't put up with the cold, wet conditions of our winters so make sure they are in a suitable environment.
- Divide your herbaceous perennials - another great way to get more plants for free! It also helps to ensure the plants are healthy and continue to perform well year on year.
- Cut back plants that have died down. Perennials are not demanding plants, but trimming them after flowering finishes in autumn helps improve their appearance and flowering.
