In the Greenhouse - October

• Check through all pots that have been growing in the greenhouse or that have been brought in from the garden.  Destroy any vine weevil larvae that you find.

• Stop watering tuberous Begonias and allow the tops to die off.  Then remove the tubers from the compost and store in a cool, dry place.

• Bring late-flowering pot-grown Chrysanthemums into the greenhouse for some late colour.

• Consider insulating your greenhouse with bubblewrap. If you want to keep a small area of the greenhouse at a higher temperature, separate it from the main area with a curtain of bubblewrap.
