When autumn has arrived and there aren't that many flowers in the garden, then things get quieter. However, your vegetable garden will still keep you busy in November.
Vegetable garden in November - 4 important tips
We would like to give you 4 important tips on what you should not miss in November:
- Store potatoes correctly. Before potatoes come into the cool cellar, they should be stored for two weeks at temperatures of up to 20 degrees. This will cork the skin and the potatoes will last many weeks longer.
- Protect sage from frost. Even if the spice is hardy, due to the fact that sage does not shed its leaves, the plants can easily freeze to death. Protect the bushes with branches.
- Harvest sprouts on time. If you want to freeze Brussels sprouts, then you should have the harvest done before the first frost. Only use firm rosettes for this.
- Create a bed of asparagus for the coming year. Asparagus in your own garden? Why not?! You can prepare the bed for this in November: the soil is dug up to 40 centimeters and mixed with half-ripe compost.
