Fruit, Vegetables and Herbs
- The vegetable garden has gone past its summer peak.
- Watch sweet corn as it is becoming ready, also parsnips, potatoes and swede turnips.
- Get rid of all old crops when they are finished and make sure not to let weeds get away and go to seed.
- When lifting potatoes, make sure to get out all small potatoes because these will become 'ground-keepers', and can carry blight and blackleg disease.
Greenhouse and House Plants
- Keep picking greenhouse tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers as soon as they are ready, otherwise cropping tails off quickly.
- Stop feeding most greenhouse plants now because they will have enough in the pot to keep them going and they are better going into winter a little 'harder'.
- Stop feeding house plants except those that flower in winter.
- Take cuttings of evergreen shrubs and trees and insert them in pots of two parts peat/one part sand in the greenhouse, covering them in white polythene.
- Pot up some freesia corms when available for wonderful scent in spring
- See www.garden.ie for more information.
