Job for the greenhouse

With the clocks going back soon and before the first frost of the Autumn, now is the time to bring in your tender perennials like these pelargoniums to over-winter in a cool but frost-free greenhouse. A great job for a sunny day like today! First clean off any dead leaves or dying flowers and check for signs of pests and diseases. Once potted up they shouldn't need any watering if the soil is still moist, and you can let that gradually dry out during November. For now though you can still enjoy the blooms and their evocative scent of Mediterranean holidays. Light is still important in the winter so after the flowers have faded you can trim back and they will continue re-growing and bushing out. As always with your greenhouse, ventilate as often as possible to keep the atmosphere around your plants dry.
