Gardening tips for early-mid Autumn<br />
by Phoenix Gardening<br />
We’re just getting into autumn and let’s think about spring.<br />
What to do? We can plant spring flowering bulbs now and<br />
also sow hardy annuals, to overwinter if you’re in one of<br />
the milder areas, if not provide some winter protection. Lift<br />
onions to store and also lift and store main crop potatoes.<br />
It’s also time to clean off any summer shading washes in<br />
the greenhouse to maximise light as the days get shorter. If<br />
you have a greenhouse heater check that it’s working. You<br />
can also plant some hyacinth bulbs under glass for early<br />
flowering. It’s also a good time to plant lilies for summer<br />
too.<br />
Moving into Mid – Autumn time to pay some attention<br />
to the lawn giving it some autumnal lawn care treatment.<br />
Prune back blackcurrant, gooseberry and summer fruiting<br />
raspberries. If you have heavy soils it’s a good time to start<br />
winter digging before it gets too wet and let the frosts help<br />
break up the soil. You can always lay some well - rotted<br />
horse manure on the top to break down over winter too,<br />
acting both as a feed and a mulch. If you like herbs you<br />
can always pot some up and keep them on a windowsill for<br />
winter use. It’s also a good time to plant herbaceous plants<br />
and divide up any over large ones you may have.<br />
“ Be safe with a stairlift;<br />
the perfect solution to your<br />
problems with the stairs.”<br />
