Well, some of the summer bedding has given us the best it has to offer at this stage and the best thing to do is replace the bedding that has stopped flowering or gone leggy and just isn’t looking good anymore. They are lots of options for to replace it with like the Autumn flowering pansy and viola. The cyclamen with a lovely variated leaf and a mix of colour some are even two toned colours .Ivy can add a lovely flowing look to the front of any pot or basket ,we have lovely selection of carnations and colours available .Heathers are starting to appear and a nice mix of colour again in this range .I personally like using foliage colour loke Heuchera they have a lovely leaf shape and vary from a plum colour to a lime green .So you wont be stuck when it comes to jazzing up those planter .
IF you have been harvesting your vegetable and have some nice fresh ground maybe consider planting cabbage or broccoli plant for winter harvest it’s a great way to keep the ground clean and you can have a lovely meal from your own vegetables. Keep watering those pots and baskets they can often stay lovely right into October with regular maintaining and dead heading the flowers. Feeding will help to prolong them too. In the garden you will always find a plant that needs a little bit of help weather its to stake it up or an extra feed.
You will be in the best company when you are out gardening I hope you are all enjoy the special place in your homes.
