Plant Autumn bulbs like Colchicum which are part of the Crocus family. These　will flower within weeks of planting and will provide colour well into late Autumn, better still, buy bulbs in pots in flower at the garden centre and plant straight into the open ground. Make sure the ground is deeply dug and well watered to ensure really healthy blooms. Add a handfull of Pelleted Chicken Manure around the base of each buld for an added boost to the vigour.

Remove Blanket and Duckweed from ponds with a garden rake or a wooden stick with a large nail in the end. Place the weed at the edge of the pond overnight which allows the beneficial water creatures to make their way back into the pond. Old weed will make good compost. If leaves or other plant matter is sitting on the water surface then remove this to allow plenty of light into the pond

Indoor Cyclamen corms can be bought back to life now for winter flowering indoors. Scrape off some of the old compost and replace with new and then water and add liquid feed. Placed in a light position　where　young growth will be made and flower buds will soon appear. Make sure the　new green leaves and developing buds　are kept out of direct sunlight for the first few weeks of growth.
