What Should I Do These Days In My Garden?

Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 by admin in Gardening Articles

I live in north London and have a small 20×20 garden – square shaped with beds on the edges. On part of these beds I put in daffodil and tulip bulbs last year and they are just starting to come up. I would like to have a pretty garden with flowers through out the year. I’d also like an apple tree to see apple blossoms – is it too late to plant one? This is my first house and first garden so I’m clue less.
How do I go about doing this – any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Clear debris and dead plants ,don’t try to dig the borders till they dry out.don’t plant border plants till end of may a late frost will kill them An apple tree can be planted now try to find one grown in a container, have you thought about a flowering cherry?.Find out what flowers when in your area and plant accordingly ask around for a good garden centre they will be happy to give advice Gardiner’s are a friendly bunch as soon as you venture into your garden you will get plenty advice.one last thing a bird table gives endless interest. Good luck

    Dreaming of spring, triggering an itch to get out of the house and into the garden. But while you are fighting a full-blown case of cabin fever, plant explorers and outdoor décor vendors are turning up a whole slew of new green goods Read more at http://www.todays-family.net/house-garden/spring-garden.html

    Firstly I would ask what pH is your soil and get that checked out. Also i think you should be ok with an apple tree right about now but don’t leave it too late leaving it for more than another month and i would recommend leaving it till later this year.. you see trees should only be moved during their dormancy period, between Oct – Feb, I would also recommend planning out your gardening around such a tree as they can make great focal points in the garden. So thought and consideration is important in the garden before purchasing any plant or tree therefore.

    London, England?
    i think you should ask other local gardeners, greenhouses, nu series & horticulture clubs. join a gardening club, if you have the time. people are always very open and happy to talk about their hobbies and shared interestes with others!

    It’s never too late to plant a tree. May not flower though.
