As autumn takes hold, the green-fingered among us will be getting out in our gardens for the annual cutting back, pruning, dead-heading and top dressing, essential to ensure a healthy spring bloom next year.
While we study the ‘catalogues' and consider the cuts, we know we need to leave the comfort of our councils and get out into the chill for some precision pruning and wide-scale weed-whacking, if we're to keep our front-line garden in shape, and plant some seeds for sturdy and compact growth.
