This is a great time to plan and start dividing and moving y0ur perennial plants. Many people haven't been into their gardens much over the winter and those dreams of a colourful border need work. Start by tidying up the border All those woody looking dead sticks can be cut down to the ground and you will have seen new green shoots at the base. [ 258 more words. ]

We are back at work and the w**ds are starting already! We have been pruning Fruit trees, putting down mulch and compost and starting the rose pruning. This is such an exciting time of year as the work done now will provide the perfect summer garden. Lots of spring garden buds are formed now as a reminder of work done in Autumn.

September is a good month to carry out some autumn lawn maintenance. However, the start of the month can still be hot and dry, so you may need to delay treatment until the weather turns cooler and wetter.
