Planting 500 Spring Bulbs, Cyclamen & Preparing for a Storm | Gardening with Ben

🌱 PLANTING 500 SPRING BULBS AND PREPARING FOR A STORM! Welcome to another episode of the Gardening with Ben Podcast! It's been another busy October day down at the allotment. 🌷 PLANTING 500 SPRING BULBS We've planted approximately 500 spring bulbs in our newly rearranged flower bed, including loads of daffodils, alliums and other spring-flowering bulbs. We're hoping for a fantastic display next spring! 🌸 PLANTING CYCLAMEN We've added beautiful pink, white and red cyclamen to bring some autumn colour into the flower bed. I'll also share some useful tips for looking after them. 🐦 FEEDING THE GARDEN BIRDS We've topped up our bird feeders ready for the colder weather. Thankfully, the squirrels haven't been attacking them! 🌬️ PREPARING THE POLYTUNNEL FOR A STORM With stormy weather forecast for Friday, we've repaired some rips in our polytunnel cover. We'll also discuss protecting your garden and allotment from strong winds. 🏡 OUR NEXT ALLOTMENT PROJECT We're starting to look at our next development area and planning more improvements around the allotment. 🍂 OCTOBER GARDENING TIPS We'll also discuss useful autumn gardening jobs, planting advice and preparing your garden for winter and next spring. 🎙️ NEW EPISODES EVERY MORNING AT 6AM!
