Prune and clear jungle garden in Autumn or wait till spring?


Recommended Posts

If you know, or can find out, what the shrubs and plants are, that may help you decide.


Some shrubs need to be pruned at specific times of the year (though if you don't mind missing a year's flowers that may not matter).


But I would do the weeding now, before they spread even more!

I would definitely get rid of the brambles as soon as you can, the longer you leave them the more difficult it will be. Other than that I?d do it slowly over the autumn and winter, weather permitting, so you can make a new start in the spring.
I would start now but follow this or something similar: https://www.gardenersworld.com/what-to-do-now-september/ ...or look for further tips depending on the size and aspect of your garden, and divide the work up into smaller portions so that you don't do anything too hasty. There might be some Autumn and Winter growth to be enjoyed, whilst those areas which are cleared now might be right for planting this side of the colder months depending on what kind of result you're after.
