AUTUMN AVAILABILITY 2014 Late summer and early Autumn are the traditional time to plant up any new beds or fill existing gaps before the weather turns cooler. Make sure to use a loamy soil in troughs or containers (John Innes No. 1 or 2 (2 parts) mixed with horticultural grit (1 part) and avoid multi-purpose compost.
