As September brings a new season there are new jobs to do in the garden/greenhouse. There are quite a few varieties of autumn and winter vegetables you can plant now for produce during the colder months – winter and spring cabbage, purple sprouting broccoli, little gem lettuce, chicory and Chinese cabbage are a few options. Our Fruit & Veg compost and our Peat free planter are perfect to grow these in.
Some other jobs we recommend doing this month:
- Divide herbaceous perennials.
- Pick autumn raspberries.
- Collect and sow seed from perennials and hardy annuals.
- Dig up remaining potatoes before slug damage spoils them.
- Net ponds before leaf fall gets underway.
- Keep up with watering of new plants, using rain water if possible.
- Start a compost heap using fallen leaves, grass cuttings, tea bags eggshells or coffee grinds.
- Early Autumn is the ideal time to plant evergreen trees and shrubs while the soil is still warm.
