  1. It pays to think ahead for the garden. Wallflower seeds should be sown in June or July for the next spring – <\/li>\n
  2. Deadhead plants that have flowered<\/li>\n
  3. Occasionally water your plants with a solution of seaweed extract as a plant tonic and water newly sown seeds with a dilute solution as it helps germination<\/li>\n
  4. After a prolonged rainy spell mulch your plants leaving a saucer effect to collect more water<\/li>\n
  5. Water African violets and cape primroses from the bottom by placing pots in a shallow bowl to take up the water they need.<\/li>\n
  6. With the increase in cost of all fuel plan what heat you need in the greenhouse this winter. hardier plants may survive in a cold greenhouse whilst tender plants may be over wintered in the house.<\/li>\n
  7. If you have an unsightly boundary fence turn it into a ‘Fedge’. <\/strong>Weave Forsythia, Winter Jasmin and or Variagated Ivy (hedera canariensis) between the fence posts and palisades and get your cross between a hedge and a fence.<\/li>\n
  8. For an aromatic low hedge try Rosemary the scent from which also confuses the carrot root fly<\/li>\n
  9. Grow horseradish in drainpipes inserted vertically into the ground to get straight roots<\/li>\n
  10. Your salads can be perked up with the thinning from salad crops and onions or leaves of other plants like the peppery taste of Nasturtium leaves<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
