November approaches

As the days get shorter and the air crisper, it's time to get ready for November in the UK garden! 🍁 Here are some friendly tips on what to watch out for this month:

1. Frost Alerts: Keep an eye on those weather forecasts! November can bring the first frosts of the season, so make sure to protect your more delicate plants.

2. Planting Bulbs: Now is the perfect time to plant spring-flowering bulbs like daffodils and tulips. Get them in the ground, and you'll be rewarded with a burst of color come spring!

3. Leaf Piles: Raking leaves can be a chore, but don't overlook the goldmine they represent! Compost those fallen leaves or create leaf mold for a nutrient-rich addition to your garden.

4. Winter Veg: If you haven't already, get your winter veggies in the ground. Brussels sprouts, kale, and winter lettuce are great choices for fresh, homegrown produce.

5. Bird Feeding: As food becomes scarcer for our feathered friends, keep your bird feeders stocked. It's a lovely way to enjoy some company in the garden.

6. Pruning: Don't forget to prune your deciduous trees and shrubs while they're dormant. It helps maintain their shape and overall health.

7. Garden TLC: November is an excellent time for a garden clean-up. Trim back dead growth, remove any weeds, and tidy up for a neater winter look.

Remember, your garden is a little sanctuary of nature. Enjoy the crisp air, the changing colors, and the satisfaction of caring for your green space. 🍁🍃
