In late summer and early autumn, there are lots of jobs to do in the garden to not only keep the garden looking good, but also to help protect it over the colder months and prepare it for spring.
Firstly, now is a good time to get any repairs done that may be needed. Whilst there are still warmer and longer days, it is a good time to look out for things that may need to be repaired, as these can be worsened by bad weather. Things like repairs to fences, as well as sheds and greenhouses for example. If you have a lot of jobs to do, it can be worth getting a professional like this handyman Hereford based company https://oddjoboctopus.co.uk to come and do it for you.
If you have trees in your garden or overhanging it, now is also the time to get them checked by a tree surgeon to make sure that they will be safe over the winter.
Now is also a time to start thinking about planting bulbs ready for the spring. September is a month to plant bulbs like bluebells, Tulips and Daffodils. You can now also cut back anything that is overgrown and take in plants that will struggle in the colder weather.
If you have garden furniture, you should also now give it a clean and either store it away somewhere like a shed or a garage, or get a cover for it to protect it from the winter weather.
