October in the Flower Garden Preparing for Winter

A very busy time begins in the garden as the summer and autumn flowers fade. Although much depends upon the weather, the time is approaching quickly when we must put everything in order for the winter. In my part of the country, Halloween, at the end of the month, usually is heralded in with snow and cold temperatures.

The whole flower garden should be dug over, but it is most important not to injure the hardy plants that will remain. Where there are a lot of these, it is safer to dig with a fork than a spade. A spade is much more likely to cut roots through if it comes across them. This, of course, presupposes you already have a flower bed with easily worked soil.

Building a No Dig Garden

The no dig garden is exactly what it describes...a fertile garden bed with no digging at all. It involves layering clean, organic materials that will literally compost around your plants as they grow.

Red Lion Amaryllis

The Amaryllis 'Red Lion', 'Hippeastrum', produces large dark red blooms. Amaryllis are great for cut flowers and they also can be grown indoors. This plant is resistant to deer. Of all flowering bulbs, amaryllis are the easiest to bring to bloom. This can be accomplished indoors or out, and over an extended period of time. The planting period extends from October to April and the flowering period lasts for 6 to 7 weeks. Amaryllis can be grown outdoors in frost free areas. In cold regions, pull up the bulbs before winter, and store them until spring.

Red Globe Peach Tree

The Red Globe peach features one of the finest flavors even developed. This very large, round fruit has yellow flesh that is blushed with red, and touts an excellent flavor. These are some of the most highly desirable commercial peaches, and they have exceptional quality. The large fruits ripen in June, and the trees are vigorous and highly productive. The fruits, with their highly blushed red atop a golden background, are some of the most attractive peaches of their season. The fruits have good quality and are rather firm.

Baby Love Rose

The Rose Baby Love produces abundant, single sunny yellow flowers throughout the summer months. The multitudes of flowers are grown in clusters above a neat and tidy, self-cleaning shrub. Its foliage is very healthy, and glossy green in appearance. Attaining a height of three feet, this shrub rose should be planted deeply to encourage better re-growth in the following spring.
