We are now in the last month of Autumn. I have to say the deciduous trees in our area have only started to turn in the last few days. I think as its has been so dry the autumn colour should be quite vibrant.In this week’s issue we have the garden tasks for May, a little reminder about autumn leaves - how they form and what you can do with them and a continuation of the sensory garden theme from last week. This issue we will focus on the taste and touch elements. I feel these two senses are often forgotten when designing a garden however they are two very important elements to consider and include so that you or your visitors to the garden can fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the garden.

What are the ten most common mistakes home gardeners make when creating their gardens?

No soil preparation
Soil preparation is the key to having plants that are healthy and sustainable. Every garden area will require some type of soil preparation or improvements at some stage in the life of the garden. This needs to be completed before you start planting out your garden. The soil needs to be improved and ready for the new plants you will plant. Amendments and additions to the soil will happen after planting, as ongoing maintenance tasks of the garden. The importance of having the soil prepped ready for planting is the main key for the plant’s survival. For example, if you plant out plants in a heavy clay soil or a very sandy soil or a soil with no nutrients or organic matter you will find the plants won’t grow or even worse, they will die.

Pink nerines (Nerine bowdenii), often called "Guer

Pink nerines (Nerine bowdenii), often called "Guernsey Lilies," or "Spider Lilies" are such a striking sight this time of year—especially when those delicate, wavy petals catch a breeze. There is something almost hypnotic about watching pink Nerines dance in the autumn wind. Don't let their fragile appearance deceive you as I find them to be tough.
