Week forty five November 4th - November 14th

Tulips should be planted in November. Gladioli corms, after lifting, need drying and cleaning by removing the old corm from under the new ones. Store in a dry frost free shed making sure all damaged corms are removed. Check them every few weeks between now and next March.

Tie up climbing roses and prune out some of the very oldest wood leaving the new growth. Check fruit in store. Continue to remove all old dead leaves from Brussels sprouts. Begonias need to be stored for the winter in a frost free place.
