Gardening Tips for November


Gardenman

Recommended Posts

THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU THIS MONTH IS TO GET YOUR LANDSCAPING JOBS DONE IN WINTER.  IT GIVES YOUR GARDEN TIME TO RECOVER BY SPRING & USE OF YOUR GARDEN IN SUMMER 

Hopefully you won’t have been affected by storm Ciaron this week & you can get out there to do the jobs you need to do 

So let’s get to it , there’s a lot to do as usual 

1. Plant Tulips Daffodils & Spring flowers to give you plenty of colour in your garden & containers . Use good quality Cyclamen in pots & borders & beautiful Christmas Roses Hellebores for lovely washed out colours in the shaded areas of your garden 

2. Prune Roses back hard to prevent wind rock ( not a new band 😂😂😂). Prune back with sharp secateurs on an angle just before a bud , giving a nice shape to your shrub 

3. After this storm clear all debris & leaves off your borders & lawns with a rake & blower . Add the smaller bits to your compost & burn the rest in a small fire . If you haven’t already aerated your lawn , put holes in with a fork every 6 inches & give your lawn an Autumn feed . New lawns can added at this time of year because you are not using them & it gives plenty of time to establish for Spring 

4. Power wash paths & patios to make them safe from moss & verdigris 

5. Raise pots & containers onto feet to avoid them water logging & freezing 

6. Put out good quality bird food for Birds & animals you wish to have in your garden. They need it & add interest to your garden 

7. Time to pick any fruits you are lucky to have in your garden & leave a box at your gate for friends & neighbours to enjoy if you have too many 

Well that’s it for now . And to say I will be doing those beautiful Christmas trees again later in December. So let me have your orders by text.  Nigel @ 07759 862191                                                And if you don’t have time for these jobs get in touch with the recommended gardeners & landscapers on this site . 
I have just about retired & given my company to my Son Oli . You can contact him at Exterior Design Gardens 07549 418219

With temperatures lower this week, please protect your tender plants with a fleece or bubble wrap or straw 

Happy Gardening 😁

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
