How Does Your Garden Grow? By Piper Nurseries The leaves are falling rapidly, and with inclement weather on the increase, your more tender plants will need protecting from frost, wind and freezing rains. Move plants into a greenhouse or sheltered spot, or wrap your plants or pots. Remember winter can be a tough time for birds and wildlife in terms of finding food and water, so keep supplies well topped up for them. Here are a few jobs and tips to help your winter garden flourish (or at least, survive!) • Clear up fallen leaves, especially from ponds and beds. • Raise containers onto pot feet, or bricks, to help prevent waterlogging during the rainy season. • Insulate outdoor containers from frost – bubble wrap works well to keep them warm. • Plant out your winter bedding with bulbs and hardy perennials, ready for the spring. • Prune roses to prevent ‘wind-rock.’ • Insulate outdoor taps and cover ponds to prevent them from freezing. If your pond does freeze over and it has fish in it, place a hot pan onto the ice to allow it to gently melt. • Check your winter protection structures are all sound and still in place. • Harvest winter veg, such as leeks, parsnips, sprouts and root crops.
