When the gardening season is over, you might think that the green oasis will be quiet. When it comes to fruit, there is still a lot to do even in November.
The garden never gets boring. We have put together 4 valuable tips for you that you should consider in November.
- Fertilize fruit trees. Fruit trees should be sufficiently fertilized before winter. To do this, mature or half-ripe compost is worked into the soil.
- Blueberries rejuvenate. If you have blueberries in the garden, tall varieties older than five years should have their branches removed. Only about eight main shoots should remain. In this way you ensure that the berry harvest will be more plentiful in the following year. Slow-growing varieties, on the other hand, can tolerate a complete pruning.
- For rosehips, now is the best time to harvest the fruits and cook them into rosehip jam, for example. Only the rose hips, which can be easily removed from the plant, are harvested. The fruit should still be firm.
- In November you can finally taste the tasty apples, pears, quinces, walnuts, hazelnuts and much more. to harvest. Apples and pears are ready to be picked when you can easily twist them off the branch, complete with the stem.
You can see that even in November there is still plenty to do.
