Getting Ready for Winter
Copy: Caroline Turner/Tom Brown. Pictures: Caroline Turner
Recently we have been busy, weather permitting, getting the Community Garden & allotment tidied up for the Winter and Polyanthus planted in the raised beds for some much-needed winter colour. And, there is still more to do!
Moving forward our aim is to become more self-sufficient, reducing our need to buy-in plants etc. To that end we have lifted all the tender perennials, taken loads of cuttings from our favourite plants in the Community Garden and moved them to the allotment either to store or to propagate in our greenhouse. We have also sown masses of hardy annuals and biennials for example Sweet William, Cornflowers and Sweet Peas in the greenhouse so we will get a head start on Summer colour.
