CRAIGS MONTHLY TIPS

October

Craig talks us through his top tips for this month.

  1. Reduce house plant watering. Your plants shouldn't be needing as much watering as we come into the cooler months. But if you are putting the heating on already, keep an eye on them as this will dry them out quicker.
  2. Move any less hardy plants into shelters - such as a greenhouse.
  3. Cut back your perennial plants. Trimming them back can help with their appearance the next year. You may want to leave some behind for food and shelter for wildlife in the colder months.
  4. Collect seeds from your plants and store them for next year, free plants, yay!
  5. Plant Spring flowering bulbs. Plant bulbs like crocus and daffodils by the end of this month. You'll have lovely displays in the Spring time!
  6. Divide herbaceous perennials. Not only will this ensure your plants remain healthy and in good condition, it's another way to get more plants in your garden for free. What more could you ask for!
