Garden What to do in September Sue Whigham rolls up her sleeves for a host of garden activities this month istockphoto.com/eyewave / keikotakamatsu Two little granddaughters went home earlier in the week with, amongst other things, a plastic container full of seed heads that they had chased across the garden (let’s hope that they weren’t thistles) and a galvanised baby’s bath by then complete with a few shells, interesting pebbles and a pile of crabs’ claws that they had found on the beach. The baby’s bath is now going to be ‘repurposed’ as a tiny wildlife pond. September is a perfect time of the year to plan projects like this but perhaps in their case they need to wait until the bath fills with rainwater and then it can be planted up in the spring. So, September brings shorter days, warm afternoons but cooler nights. The light in September always seems so intense to me and the jewel colours of dahlias and salvias, aconites and autumn flowering nerines are so beautiful. Things to do in September • Taking photos and notes of your borders. What didn’t work and which combinations did. • Keeping on top of weeding, but take out anything which is ‘ugly’ or diseased. It’s often difficult to actually get into your borders at this time of year without treading on things by mistake, but it is definitely worth having a go. And you might find that missing tennis ball... • Keep checking stakes and avoid earwig damage by popping upturned pots stuffed with paper or straw on canes nearby. Dahlias, if they are regularly dead-headed and fed with a liquid tomato fertiliser or something similar, will go on and on flowering until the first frosts. A few of ours which are still languishing in pots seem to be succumbing to some form of mosaic virus which results in mottling of the leaves. There is nothing for it but to dispense with the infected plant. It might be a good idea not to compost them as the virus could well persist causing all sorts of problems next season. It is a perfect time to take cuttings of salvias which are at their best this time of year. They strike so easily. I’m particularly keen on Salvia confertiflora with its spiky, velvety red flower spikes and red stems. A piece accidentally broken off last night should make a good plant for next year. Just snip below a leaf node, cut any large leaves in half so that the cutting doesn’t need to expend excess energy on them and then pop around the edge of a small pot of potting compost. I keep mine out of the sunlight outside until they take and then put them somewhere frost proof for the winter. Nerines need a thorough summer baking, so a sheltered sunny spot is a bit of a must. Ideally you would have tidied up their leaves last month. Oh, and they need to be planted at or above the soil surface. Amarines are worth trying as they are a cross between Amaryllis and Nerine ‘taking the best from each parent’. Each bulb should produce up to ten flowers per stem and as they are larger flowers than the nerine, they’ll give you a good show. Talking of that, now is the time to get on with bulb ordering. If this summer is anything to go by, demand will be higher than usual. I grew Tulip ‘Apricot Parrot’ this year in my containers. What a beautiful plant this is. It seemed 117 priceless-magazines.com
