Gardening under glass opens the door to a whole new horticultural world. Here are some jobs for this month. Hippeastrum Plant bulbs in free-draining compost and place in a warm position, such as a shelf over a radiator. This will encourage strong root development and flowering. Never leave them standing in water.
Peaches Move pot-grown peaches and nectarines under cover for winter.
An unheated greenhouse is ideal. Keeping rain off these fruit trees prevents the spread of spores of peach leaf curl disease. It also protects their early flowers from frost. Gutters and butts Wash down the greenhouse roof to remove grime and let in more light. Clean out the gutters, and empty and clean water-butts.
