November gardening

November is a time to prepare your garden for winter.

Continue to plant spring-flowering bulbs, making sure you place them at the right depth. If your border isn’t quite prepared, plant them in large pots instead. These bulbs can be planted out to fill gaps later.

Any perennials past their best can be cut right down, clearing away remains and adding them to the compost heap.

Container-grown evergreens and conifers planted now will get a really good start in life, so complete new hedging projects as soon as possible.

Finish planting up bowls of spring-flowering bulbs, including crocuses, narcissi, dwarf irises and tulips. Then place them in a cool area to develop, that’s covered for protection from heavy rain.

Spike lawns using a hollow-tined aerator and brush grit into the holes to improve drainage.

Watch out for frost, which can bring a sudden end to fading summer displays. Bring tender plants and drops under cover or, if time runs short, keeping a few sheets of fleece handy to throw over plants or containers can give some temporary protection.
