Editorial

Dear subscriber

The energy we pour into our gardens is

We love...

We love November

The pumpkins of Halloween are now just sadly decomposing memories on doorsteps across the land, and the spirit of Christmas (though looming and quite apparent in our supermarket aisles) is not yet at full volume. This is a restful month where the first cold spells will come to dislodge the last of the autumn colour, and we can tuck it neatly away to make compost and leafmould for next season. It is still warm enough for comfortable gardening, yet the weeds have stopped growing and our lawns have settled into winter. Enjoy the quiet – it won’t last long!

YOUR PRUNING MONTH

Wildlife

Your wildlife month

November is a dreary, damp month in the garden, with occasional bouts of sunshine to gladden the heart. A few butterflies, including red admirals, small tortoiseshells and peacocks, are still on the wing – you may spot them feeding on late-flowering plants such as Michaelmas daisies. Birds such as finches and blackbirds may have all but vanished from your garden. This is normal, as road verges and hedges are bursting with berries, while trees offer a bounty of seeds and nuts. So don’t worry if you haven’t seen many birds lately and be thankful they have food to eat in the wild. While they’re gone, clean your feeders, bird tables and baths to ensure they’re safe when things get busier in a few weeks.
