Big Jims Garden Centre Newsletter
14th OCTOBER 2021
Spring
is up to its’ usual tricks, with the weather behaving from one extreme
to the other, and for those in the two garden festivals it is very
frustrating indeed. However it is normal spring behaviour.
October is probably the main month to be getting all those edibles into
your vegetable garden. Labour Weekend is only a week or so away and
that is the traditional time to plant tomatoes outdoors. There are so
many interesting varieties to choose from, including tried and true
heirloom ones, grafted ones which give tomatoes increased vigour, and
there are even more seeds to choose from.
Many spring flowering trees, shrubs and perennials are beginning to
flower now, making it an exciting time in the garden, with something new
happening everyday. Gardens go from having spaces, to filling out
really quickly. Roses are pushing ahead very quickly, make sure you
give them a good feed, and they will reward you with lots of healthy
growth and flowers
