Hi fellow gardening enthusiasts, here are few things you should be doing this week! Have fun and enjoy!

Plant tulip bulbs in groups to make drifts of spring colour,
After first frosts, lift and store dahlia tubers or leave in the ground but mulch heavily,
Plant evergreen shrubs and conifers, including new hedges,
Lift tender cannas to avoid frost damage, and overwinter tubers in cool dark conditions,
Plant out spring bedding,
Sow hardy annuals in cleared areas for early flowers next summer,
Sow sweet peas in pots, and overwinter under cover,
Prune back standard roses to help prevent wind rock damaging the plants,
Take hardwood cuttings from cornus, ribes, salix and roses,
Plant up tubs and baskets with evergreens for autumn and winter interest

Bryan.

that's terrific Phal thanks. I am taking notes for my customers. I don't know what it is, I must look like Percy Thrower because they always, always ask me gardening questions!
Ps sorry forgot to ask, Is it ok if I publish your tips for my customers?

Yes you can RainbowHave a good weekend

Oh thank you Phal, the shop is always quiet on a Sunday so I will try and do some hints and tips sheets, as well as recipe cards for my customers. Well, I say quiet, if you don't count the groups of Sunday walkers who come in with their muddy boots shouting to their friends, "it doesn't matter if we all come in this one in our boots because it's only a flower shop with a stone floor." They never buy anything (well flowers don't go too well with hiking boots and rucksacks!) but they always leave a little something behind to remind me of them

My shop is very quiet on a Sunday!!!!!!! because I am closed Do you really open on a Sunday

Just wanted to say that the Nerines in my garden have been fab this year. I want to get some more, can anyone recommend a good bulb supplier please, especially for unusual varieties?

http://www.eurobulb.nl/index.php/home/ I've bought from them several times and I have never been disappointed. Prices are low, comparing to danish prices that is , and quality is in top They have a lot both rare and ordinary.
