In the Garden with Alan Edmondson of Bowercot Garden Design October/November Gardening Tips • Rake up fallen leaves regularly. If they have appeared diseased during the summer, do not compost them. • Sow sweet peas in pots in a cold frame. Remove the covers when the seedlings appear. • A newly sown lawn can have the grass height reduced by about a half when it is 2-3 inches high. Repeat cutting the lawn in 3-4 weeks’ time. • Apples and pears which are ripe should be picked and handled carefully prior to storage a in a cool, airy position. • Plant daffodils in the garden. Good dwarf varieties include ‘Tete a Tete’, ‘February Gold’, ‘Jack Snipe’ and ‘Hawera’. • A number of shrubs such as Buddleja, Forsythia and Philadelphus can be propagated by taking hardwood cuttings. • In the vegetable garden, dig over ground as it becomes vacant. • Remove dead leaves from ornamental pools and thin oxygenating plants. • Plant out new roses. You can improve the soil with plenty of humus and by adding some blood, fish and bone fertilizer to the planting hole. • If you are buying biennials such as wallflowers and sweet Williams, make sure that they are bushy, as they will not grow much now before flowering. • Harvest leeks and cauliflowers. Also lift and store root crops such as carrots, turnips and swedes. • Ventilate the greenhouse on sunny days. Give the glass a good wash to let in the maximum amount of light. • Tomato crops should be cleared from the greenhouse and not left to stand suffering from Botrytis (Grey Mould) as the fungus spores will flourish in greenhouse conditions. • Feed the birds regularly. It is important to ensure that they have a constant supply of water.
