THE AUTUMN CHILL SETS IN<br />
BY KATE LINES<br />
Kates Top Tip : It’s your last chance to trim<br />
deciduous hedges to keep them looking tidy<br />
over the winter<br />
Now that autumn has arrived, grass<br />
grows much slower so there’s no<br />
need to cut your lawn.<br />
If however it is mild and you need to mow,<br />
change your mower to a higher cut. The lawn<br />
is particularly susceptible to the damage of the<br />
larvae of the daddy longlegs at this time of the<br />
year, they eat the roots of the grass. Use a leather<br />
jacket killer to prevent extensive damage.<br />
Planting<br />
<strong>October</strong> is an excellent time to plant trees, shrubs<br />
and perennials, the soil is warm enough to give<br />
them a good start before winter begins. It is also a<br />
good time to divide perennials that have become<br />
too large. Lift the plant without damaging the roots<br />
and pull the young parts away from the old plant.<br />
They can then be replanted. Plant winter flowering<br />
plants in the border such as ornamental cabbage or<br />
pansies. Bulbs can also be planted in borders or pots.<br />
Indoors<br />
You can have flowering plants as early as December<br />
if you plant tulips or hyacinths so that the tops are<br />
level with the soil. Crocus need to be planted a few<br />
centimeters deeper and narcissi should protrude<br />
slightly above the soil. Place the bowls or pots in the<br />
cool (12deg) for about 8 weeks.<br />
