Gardening Club – Jobs for November

  1. Should you want to plant a new hedge or new roses for next year, now is the time to order bare rooted stock. This will save you a great deal of cash. If you need advice as to some suppliers, please speak to Pete at the next meeting.
  2. Once all the leaves have left your apple trees it is time for their yearly prune. Collect fallen leaves, not diseased ones, and either put on your compost heap or store in black bags. This will encourage them to break down and you will then be able to use them for mulch.
  3. Now is the time to plant tulip bulbs ready for spring.
    Clean out and replenish bird baths and feeders regularly Tennis balls are a good addition to ponds, fountains and birdbaths alike, to stop them from freezing over completely.
  4. We’ve already experienced ground frost so all vulnerable and precious plants should be covered or moved to a safer place for winter.
  5. Outside taps should be well insulated, or better still, the supply turned off for winter months. We don’t want the trouble of burst pipes.

Willow Crafting, Talk and Demo by Kim Creswell from Sherborne
You may recall seeing an article in the Blackmore Vale a few weeks back. We as a committee thought it would be interesting in the sad winter months to have a talk we could watch, enjoy and get some tips from, or even to have a go ourselves.
If you are really keen, Kim does day courses so you can do your own thing.
Her website is: www.kimcreswell.co.uk
