November is here and whilst it's still very mild, the garden is well on it's way to shutting down for Winter. Enjoy the vibrant colours that the Autumn garden offers before the leaves fall as temperatures drop. Here's my top 5 gardening jobs for November.
Plant Tulip Bulbs
November is the best month to plants tulips to avoid the risk of tulip fire. Plant with the pointed side up at a depth 3 x the size of the bulb and add grit to the bottom of the planting hole to improve drainage. A little chilli powder sprinkled on the soil should help deter squirrels.

Bare root season begins in November so for a more cost effective hedge or rose, buy your bare roots now. Plant them as soon as you can, soak the roots for a couple of hours before planting, plant in a hole with a cone shaped mound at the bottom and water in well and mulch.
