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 😁

    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!
