NOVEMBER. What to do in the garden this month. Plant up shaded areas of the garden with suitable plants for a colourful summer show. Check for snail activity on all new growth and apply bait where necessary.

Summer and autumn flowering bulbs are ready for planting now. Bulbous plants:- Achimenes, arum, dahlia, gladiolus, galtonia, gloxinia, hippeastrum, lilium, nerine, scilla, tuberose, zephyranthes.

Feed flowering annuals regularly with a water-soluable fertiliser high in potassium, especially after persistent rainfall.

Summer seedlings :- Aster, ageratum, begonia, celosia, chrysanthemum, cleome, cosmos, dahlia (bedding) dianthus, gloriosa daisy, impatiens, lobelia, marigold, nicotiana, penstemon, petunia, portulaca, salvia, vinca.

Do any necessary shaping and cutting back of spring-flowering shrubs after flowering so they can build healthy new growth. To encourage new growth, apply a general fertiliser, dig in lightly and give a deep watering and generous spread of mulch around the root area.
Cut back centre spikes on delphiniums and foxgloves to just below the old flowers when they have finished flowering. This encourages secondary shorter side shoots to develop.
Cut back pointsettias to promote side branching.
HAPPY GARDENING.
