In this final programme for 2021 Paraic runs through all of the tasks that should be done now to set gardens up for a great winter period. With nighttime frosts setting in there's a reminder about taking cuttings from tenders plants and the importance of looking after wildlife now that temperatures are dropping. It's still a good time to plant up winter veg and spring bulbs can also be planted between now and mid-November. Hedges should also receive a light trimming and the ever present moss should also be treated now to keep it under control over the winter months. Listeners questions this week include what to grow in a new greenhouse, storing nastursium seeds over winter, the benefits of keeping strawberries outdoors in colder weather, harvesting seeds from a wildflower meadow, plants suitable for silt based soil, transplanting conifers, growing red hot pokers, moving holly and peoney trees.

As we head into the October Bank Holiday weekend it remains great gardening weather for planting and this week Paraic offers some great tips on how to maximise any planting undertaken now.

There's a look at calluna heaters which are offering some seasonal colour and trees and a reminder of the benefits of planting trees and shrubs right which will all benefit from rooting over the winter leading to much better established plants come spring. Paraic also discusses the merits of indoor plants and provides some great tips on their care over the winter months with particular emphasis on reducing watering and ensuring they get as much daylight as possible. Lisenters questions this week feature pruning roses, taking cuttings from rhodedendron, aphid damage on conifers, lawn care during October, splitting formiums and grasses, moving acer palmatium, growing conditions for african marigolds and planting outdoor cyclamen on a grave.
