With autumn, although it promises to be decidedly hot and not very rainy, the first cold will also arrive and just like us who have thought about doing the change of season on time, putting away the lightest clothing pretty well to make room for trench coats and scarves, even the ones plants need to be protected.
What we have to do, then, is to arm ourselves with simple things non-woven fabric, covering them in order to avoid them sudden stress especially during the night hours when the temperature drops but not only, in fact it is good also think about the terrain, cradle of roots and reserve from which plants draw their nourishment.
We must therefore recover straw, brushwood or even grass clippings to be placed over the roots around the most delicate plants.
Il compost then by now it will be ready then put it back in your vases or on the ground and thus start your new composting cycle, this just in time to have it ready just before spring when you will need it to fertilize again.
Finally this is the time for plant the bulbs that will pop up delightfully colorful and peek out in late winter or early spring at the latest.
Use a mixture made with 3 parts of good soil, 1 part of peat and 1 part of sand as well as a layer of expanded clay on the bottom.
Some flowers to plant in the open ground are crocuses, snowdrops and winter aconite.
If you want to opt for beautiful pots, perhaps to be kept in a slightly sheltered position or directly at home, plant tulips and hyacinths by placing them just below the surface of the soil, so that the tips are barely covered, so that you can see the flowering already at December.
Crocuses, on the other hand, need to be planted a few centimeters deeper while for narcissus, let them emerge a little from the ground.
Place the vases in the cool and dark for 8 weeks and therefore, when most of the bulbs have produced some sprouts, place them where you want.
But it didn't end there.
In fact, in autumn you can do the your seed supply perfect to use for next year's sowings.
It's very simple: let the fruits ripen and after taking the seeds, let them dry. So keep them in small paper bags that you can very well make yourself using newspaper or recycled paper and folding it to form a small bag and place your bags of seeds in a dark, cool and dry place.
