As September draws to a close, there are still essential gardening tasks to tackle before the winter season arrives. Despite the cooling weather pushing many indoors, it is crucial not to neglect your garden and plants. A gardening expert, Adam Kirtland, shared advice on tasks that should be prioritized this month.
Adam, known for his gardening tips on TikTok (@viewfromthepottingbench), emphasized the importance of preparing bird feeders for the upcoming season by ensuring they are cleaned and filled with high-protein food. Additionally, he highlighted the significance of cleaning out greenhouses and cold frames to make space for protecting plants during winter.
In his gardening recommendations, Adam suggested dividing plants like hardy perennials such as geraniums. By using a spade and fork, he explained the process of separating the plants into two, allowing for replanting in different areas of the garden. He also advised starting to plant spring bulbs, mentioning that daffodils can be planted now but cautioned against planting tulips just yet.
When planting bulbs, Adam recommended using a bulb planter to create holes in the soil and ensuring that daffodil bulbs are positioned correctly. He reassured that daffodils are resilient and will adjust even if not placed perfectly. Taking care of these tasks now will set your garden up for a vibrant spring season.
