JOBS TO DO THIS WEEK
Continue planting bulbs. Sow batches of hardy broad beans and peas outdoors for early crops next year.
Remove suckers from the base of plants.
Pick off rotting fruit from trees and dispose to get rid of fungal spores that overwinter.
Bonfire night is a great time to get rid of material that is unsuitable for composting so
Treat grass with autumn lawn fertiliser to help it through winter.
Prune shrub roses now to avoid damage to the roots caused by high winds rocking the plant back and forth.
Rake up fallen leaves and put them in bin bags with a few holes pierced – this makes excellent compost for your ericaceous plants.
