As the cold weather starts to roll in thick and fast, it is important that your garden is ready to tackle whatever weather conditions will be thrown at it. Before you curl up under a blanket with a hot chocolate this autumn, don’t forget to run through this checklist of essential garden jobs, because once spring returns, you will be glad you did. In this blog, we will be discussing our top five tips for maintaining your garden throughout the autumn months to get ready for winter.
- Because grass grows more slowly during colder weather but doesn’t completely stop, it is important that you get the mower out before it is too late. Cut the grass down so that you don’t have to worry about finding a dry day between all of the rain, cold and potential snow.
- For stronger and healthier grass in the spring, it is now the perfect time to give your lawn a feed. This will also help strengthen the lawn during cold and wet weather.
- If you have tender or vulnerable plants in your garden, now is the time to bring them undercover to keep them safe from frost, but don’t forget to check the soil or compost first for insects and snails that might have taken up residence.
- It can be easy to forget about watering your garden as summer draws to a close, but if the weather is still rather dry, your grass and plants might be thirsty. Ensure that they are well-watered now before the extremes of winter weather arrive.
- Although spring may seem like a long way away right now, it will be here before you know it. Autumn is actually the best time to plant spring flowering bulbs!
