Gardening diary - our weekly guide and topical tips for your English country garden and allotment.

Week 48 November 25th - December 2nd

Check apples, gladioli corms, and dahlia tubers in store. Turn out the compost heap and replace again. Check over fuschias and geraniums, make sure they are in frost free conditions. Bring hyacinths inside when in bud. Make sure cold frames have some air on the warmer days. Float a ball on fish ponds to prevent total freezing over. If the pond is frozen, stand a bowl of hot water on it until it melts; don't crack the ice!
