SUBURBAN GARDENS With Eric Wells of Horsforth Allotment and Garden Association
This is the month of autumn mists and mellow fruitfulness, and is also a good time to look at how the garden has performed. Have some of the plants outgrown their space, are there areas of bare earth. Lift and divide large clumps of plants, replanting the outside sections, and disposing of the woody centres. Then thinking of autumn colour, or possibly all year round, take a look at your local nursery and buy yourself some future happiness. After the first frosts have blackened your dahlia stems, cut them down to about 6�, and after lifting, stand them upside down in a shed or greenhouse for about 10 days to dry the stems. Then sit them upright in boxes, surrounded by damp soil to keep them safe for the winter. Similarly, chrysanthemum stools should be cut back, lifted and stored in a cool place for next year. Start trimming back any tall or rambling roses, to stop wind rock, at the same time keep collecting and disposing of any diseased leaves. If you are ordering new bare root roses, make sure you prepare the area well with plenty of organic material. Compost bins are a must have this month, to collect all the falling leaves, together with the finished leaves and stems from your flowers and vegetable bed. Make sure you mix in some newspaper or thin cardboard, together with a proprietary starting powder for faster working. In your vegetable area, over wintering onion sets and garlic will be ready for planting, together with sowing seeds for spring 18 | SUBURBAN MAGAZINE
cabbage. Summer raspberry canes which have fruited, should be cut down to ground level, and the new canes tied to the frame. Then cut down to ground level autumn raspberry canes after fruiting, together with fruited blackberry stems. If your strawberry plants are more than four years old, dig them out and replace with new plants or your own runners after improving the bed. If you have the time between your greenhouse crops finishing, and the first cold nights, give your glass and staging a good clean with disinfectant to remove any lurking pest and diseases.

OLDER PEOPLE AT THE HEART OF HORSFORTH About 620 older residents enjoy membership of Horsforth Live at Home, the Neighbourhood Network Scheme, managed by MHA and sponsored by Horsforth Churches Together. Membership is free and open to all aged 60+ living in their own homes in LS18. It helps people maintain independence and integration in the community, keeping up social contact through a range of services. Based at the Central Methodist Church, Town Street, activities include coffee mornings, lunch clubs, exercise classes, dancing, games, craft, men’s group. A digital workshop helps members use phones and tablets and is
inter-generational with young volunteers and experienced members providing instruction. Opportunities to get out and about include supported shopping trips, pub lunches, walking groups, day trips and holidays. The scheme offers extra support for those living with dementia and has three dedicated groups: singing for the memory, dementia cafĂŠ and accompanied walks, as well as working with Horsforth Town Council towards recognition as a dementia friendly community. Support for members less able to get out is provided by a Befriending service, and Homeward (in partnership with British Red Cross) for individuals recently out of hospital or at risk of being admitted. Other services include
advocacy, sales tables, police surgery, Trusted Tradesperson List, and advice and support when problems arise. Volunteers are welcome as drivers (minibus and pick-up in own car) and as befrienders.
