We plant onions
At this time of year, one of the most important tasks in the garden is planting bulbs.Place the bulbs on the previously prepared beds
with the spacing depending on the plant species.First, we plant species (if we did not plant them in August) that undergo quite a long period of rooting, such as the imperial crown, narcissi, autumn crocusesand winter crocuses.
In the middle of the month we can plant squillies, hyacinths, blizzards, snowdrops, snowflakes and sapphires. At the end we plant tulips. Now we can also prepare containers with bulbs, which we will accelerate flowering in the early spring by a procedure called forcing.It consists in the fact that the containers with bulbs are moved from outside to a warmer room, stopping at rest period way.
Establish a moor
In the fall, the points of sale of plants sparkle with colorful flowers and heather leaves. Such a large selection encourages to establish a heather bed in the garden, especially where there is acidic soil with a pH of about 3.5-4.
In such a bed, apart from the heathers themselves, there should be other heather plants, such as heathers, dabeches, bruxins, cranberries, rhododendrons, azaleas and those that tolerate the acidic reaction of the soil, i.e. barberry, Japanese tavulas, hydrangeas or birches .Plant holes should be covered with a substrate for heather plants, and the area under the plants should be covered with bark.
We plant new shrubs and trees
September is an excellent planting date for new woody plants. They will take root well before winter, thanks to which they can withstand frosts better. This is especially true for evergreen and coniferous plants.We can buy seedlings in containers as well as with a bale or bare root.
Remember that the stand for new plants must be well prepared, dug and weeded.Before planting, seedlings should be thoroughly watered by placing the root ball in water for 2-3 hours.Applies to these are especially bare-rooted plants. After planting the plant, water it abundantly so that the soil sticks to the roots and fills all the free spaces around them.
Final cuts
After flowering, trim the lavender shoots to half their length, giving the clump a nice shape. Trim young wisteria shoots over 3-4 leaves.Trim the hedges and figures of deciduous and coniferous plants for the last time.
