Bulbs can be planted in autumn so that they are ready to germinate in spring. Precisely in this season it is possible to plan the layout of the garden for the summer. Remember that the bulbs must be planted at a depth equal to two or three times their height. When you plant them, check that the bulbs have their tips facing upwards and then cover them well with soil. Autumn is the best season to plant, in addition to new bulbs, also new plants. A curiosity: perhaps you didn't know but autumn is the ideal time to plant roses, before the winter frost.
Furthermore, autumn is an excellent season not only for planting new seeds but also for transplanting plants into a new space because the soil is sufficiently moist. Since there is no longer summer heat but cooler temperatures that are not yet so cold, the plants are more easily able to get used to the new position and form new roots. Whether it is a plant or a small tree, remember that this activity it should always be done in autumn. Always remember to pay attention to the characteristics of the soil and the exposure, they are two fundamental factors.
To maintain the florid vegetation of the garden, pruning is used. Using garden shears you need to lightly cut the longest green branches at the ends of the plant.
Then remember to prune the flower peduncles and the dried or withered ones. Finally, don't forget the suckers, the parts of the plant that, in the form of a branch, develop directly from the trunk or root. In fact, these remove nutrients from the plant so it is better to cut them. Don't underestimate the importance of pruning, a good job will certainly bear fruit in spring!
To best care for the garden, we recommend using autumn fertilizer. This fertilizer has the particularity of having a low nitrogen content and a high level of potassium which strengthens the grass and increases its resistance to frost. Autumn fertilization is an important technique whose aim is to nourish the plants throughout the season. In this way you will improve their energy reserves and the state of fertility of the soil.
During the autumn season, dry leaves fall on our garden and it is up to us to remove them, although it is not a fun activity, remember to always keep your garden clean and tidy. This is not just an aesthetic reason, in fact if these are wet they can create a slippery layer over time which can be really dangerous. Also, be very careful that fallen leaves do not cover your shoots because they could damage them quite a bit. Too many leaves take away the light from the green mantle of your garden with the risk of causing ugly patches to appear on the lawn. So arm yourself with a rake and wheelbarrow to keep your green space clean!
