Preparing the garden for winter days – Gardening in autumn

Prepare your garden for cold winter days – with these helpful tips for gardening in the fall. Now is the time to make a list of all the tasks ahead. If you created a sketch in spring, you will find it very useful now. Look around the garden and mark the changes on the sketch: which flowers and plants performed well, which need more space, and whether any diseases have appeared.

Gardening in the fall – lawn and flowers

Anyone who wants a long-lasting green lawn should prepare it for winter in autumn. Gardening in the fall includes tasks such as mowing and fertilizing the lawn so that it can survive the cold winter well and grow quickly again in spring. Now is also a good time to prepare flowers for winter. Roses can be planted directly in the fall. Do not cut roses back in autumn; instead, carefully remove faded flowers. Gladioli are dug up in the fall, dried, and then stored in a cool place indoors. Clematis should be cut back. All annual plants should be removed from the garden. You can, of course, keep their seeds for next year. Potted flowers can overwinter in the garden shed.

Gardening in the fall – time to prepare for frost

Here are some important tips that will make fall gardening much easier. Clean your pruning shears and the other tools you use in the garden. Diseased flowers and plants have no place in the compost. Fertilize the soil where annual plants grew. Leave enough space between each flower.
