Hello Friends, I hope you had a nice week ! Colour your life in November Many trees and plants shed their leaves in winter. This makes the evergreens stand out even more. Conifers, bush ivy and bamboos provide an attractive green oasis in your garden. If you find that your garden has too little greenery in the winter? Then plant evergreens now for year round interest. Second round for pots The summer months are over, and so the patio containers and pots ideally should be moved indoors if space permits. If you want to make a change this year, then try this: You can fill the boxes with fresh soil and hardy plants to provide some colour on your balcony or in the garden. You should insulate the box with bubble-wrap in order to prevent the plants from freezing. Remember to keep the drainage holes clear so that the water can escape. Visit your local garden centre to choose from the wide range of plants to fill your containers and pots: from winter-flowering heather to Skimmia and ivy. Clear ice If the frost comes early this year, then ensure that that the pond remains clear of ice. Gas which is released from the muddy bottom can collect under the ice. At the same time the oxygen-rich air in the water is reduced, and this can create an unhealthy situation for the plants and animals in the pond. You can easily avoid this by placing an ice preventer in the pond.
