Gardening Jobs & Tasks for October | What to do in the Garden in Autumn | Protect Tender Perennials

In this video we continue our monthly series of what to do in the garden. Even though we are getting into mid autumn and the weather is beginning to get colder (and wetter!) there are still many jobs we can be doing. In this October episode, we include how to protect our tender perennials, such as our tender Salvias and Pelargoniums, we continue to collect seeds, dry hydrangea flowers for dried flower arrangements, we show how easy it is to provide a safe habitat for overwintering insects and we begin to plant bulbs. Although not covered in this video, October is still a good month to be planting and dividing herbaceous perennials as the soil is still fairly warm and plants have time to put new root growth on before the winter.
