Any gardening tips during Autumn to get ready for winter?
Hi,
I’m a relative newcomer to Gardening but this year i’ve had a real push in the garden with limited success in the veg patch. I have a few green beans hanging on for dear life along with leeks which appear to be quite happy but apart from that all of the late summer madness has calmed down and it’s leaving me thinking what should I be doing next to prepare my garden for winter and next spring?
Thanks.

Hi
About time you picked the rest of those beans by the sound of it! Trim the edges off the beans and blanch them for a minute in boiling water. Dry them off and drop them in your freezer – they’ll stay lovely and fresh until the new year.
This time of year is good for planting believe it or not, especially trees and shrubs – tree and shrub roots like cool ground, make sure it’s not freezing though. Also, ensure you dig the correct depth hole as per instructions, don’t cheat and think you can get away with a shallower hole.
Cut and Prune. Cut back most of the plants killed by frosts or freezes. Leave an inch stub above ground to indicate where the plants but be careful in pruning trees late in the year.
Now is the time to fertilize the lawn. Look for fertilizers high in nitrogen. You may also consider a fertilizer that is lower in nitrogen, but higher in phosphorus and potassium. By fertilizing in late autumn, you will encourage lush growth in the spring.
I represent an online Garden Tool website where I have recently put up a blog post with more autumn/winter tips. Feel free to take a look: http://www.bloomingtools.com/blog/article/28/10-things-to-do-in-the-garden-before-winter
I hope you find that useful.

William asks…
Does anyone know how to use photos from my iPad photo album in Blogger?
I’m currently trying to build a gardening blog in Blogger on my iPad3, but am having trouble in own downloading photos from my iPad ‘photo’ section. Every time I try to add any photos the only source I’m being able to draw them from is Picaso, which I don’t really use, and I can’t find any way of finding my photos without my usual album.
Could anyone possibly help me with this one, please?

You should just be able to click and hold on the photo until you see ‘Copy’. Click on copy and then paste the photo into your blog.
