Karol’s Korner As I write this Nottinghamshire (with the exception of Newark) has gone into Tier 3 and our lives are being impacted yet again by C19 .

Roll on the vaccine, let’s hope that 1 arrives quickly with sufficient testing to be safe.

November brings autumnal colours and cooler days and even colder evenings, it’s a cycle of regeneration that begins with the leaves falling from the trees and nature pausing to take a breath. Perhaps a lesson in there for us all.

This time last year, I had just embarked on a cruise holiday of a lifetime and Facebook continually reminds me of glorious memories! How life has changed! Will we ever return to normal, and do we want to return to the old normal?

Lets hope November is safe for everyone and remember to “WASH HANDS, COVER FACE, MAKE SPACE”

Ground Cover Ground cover plantings are a wonderful way to create gorgeous carpets of colour in your garden, whatever its size and wherever it’s located. But what’s so special about groundcover growing, when is it most useful and when should you start?

by Pippa Greenwood The initial few months will take some effort, but once growing well, most ground cover planting needs little if any maintenance except perhaps a very occasional trim, some food and water in drier weather.

It has a superbly smothering effect on the weeds, killing weedlings and deterring further weeds from appearing.

The denser the groundcover planting, the better the effect.

Autumn is a great time for planting. Trees, shrubs, climbers and herbaceous plants that go in to the ground at this time of year often establish extremely well as they have the luxury of enjoying the relatively warm and yet moist soil, a perfect place for new roots to grow out and establish rapidly.

Make sure you invest a bit of time and effort in to the preparation. Clear the area of weeds, digging out all tough weeds completely if you can.

Fork the soil over, removing debris such as large stones or buried rubbish and then fork in plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost, and perhaps a little slow-release feed too.

If you’re planting up a slope, it’s worth trying to secure the soil a little too, as all that preparation and weed clearing will have loosened the surface and made it prone to erosion.

Once growing well the roots of the plants will help to secure the slope brilliantly, but in the 4

meantime, use landscape fabric pinned down onto the surface of the slope.

Don’t be tempted to cram the plants in too closely. Given time they will form the desired effect if planted at the correct spacing. But if you fall in to the trap of planting them elbow to elbow, then they are more likely to become stressed and miserable, more prone to disease and will need thinning out. Make sure the plants are kept just moist at the roots until they’re well established and feed occasionally. By choosing varieties of plants which are recommended for use as groundcover you’ll be unlikely to have to do much if any pruning.

So what should you choose to grow? Foliage that is attractive and interesting makes a wonderful groundcover planting and if you wish you can add a IHZ PRUH Ă DPER\DQW Ă RZHULQJ plants to the mixture too. By using plants with interestingly shaped leaves or variegated leaves your leafy planting will look even better.

If you want a reasonable effect all year around, then select at least some of the plants you use from the evergreens. These may lose their leaves, but they do so gradually so you’ll never be left with totally bare soil.

Great Shrubby Groundcover Ideas Heaths and Heathers, Cotoneaster horizontalis and

Cotoneaster microphyllus, Stephandra incise ‘Crispa’, groundcover roses eg the ‘Flower Carpet’ roses.

Great Shade-Tolerant groundcover Ideas Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis, Mahonia repens, Gaultheria procumbens, Hypericum calycinum, many hebes including Hebe pinguifolia, Euonymus fortune cultivars such as ‘Emerald n’Gold’, ‘Emerald Gaiety’ Herbaceous Ground Cover in Shadier Spots Sweet violets, pulmonaria (lungworts) eg the whiteĂ RZHUHG Âś6LVVLQJKXUVW¡ %XJOH (the ajugas eg Ajuga reptans ‘Burgundy Glow’), Lysimachia nummularia (Creeping Jenny), Lily-of-the-valley, Lamium ‘White Nancy’ and Lamium ‘Silver Beacon’, Bergenia Sunnier Groundcover Snow-in-summer, thymes, oregano, many of the sedums, chamomile.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Beware of pushing a good and loyal friend or romantic partner into a decision on the 9th; it’s better to respect their boundaries and not push your luck. The New Moon on the 15th finds you letting down your defences with an attentive lover. If you have a partner, their financial good fortune will spill over to you, allowing you to indulge in some creature comforts.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st Avoid spreading gossip on the 9th; you don’t want to get a reputation for being unpleasant and untrustworthy. On the 15th, the New Moon prompts you to sign a contract, get engaged or exchange wedding vows. Your love life sizzles with excitement on the 21st; this is an excellent time to enjoy a romantic outing. Beware of imposing sudden changes on a loved one on the 27th.

The early days of November are perfect for a family reunion. You’ll enjoy reconnecting with relatives who have always supported your creative talent.

Powerful desires prompt you to embark on a fitness regimen on the 19th. Being more active will strengthen your body and lift your spirits. Starting on the 21st, you’ll feel a strong urge to take a long-distance trip for pleasure.

VIRGO August 24th - Sept 23rd It will be easier to deal with a financial issue during the first few days of November. Don’t hesitate to drive a hard bargain for your goods and services; they are valuable. On the 15th, the New Moon inspires you to take a course in a subject that has always fascinated you. If you’re single, you could find love with a fellow classmate.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st The start of the month is good for working alongside, and in cooperation with those who share the same aims and aspirations. People will be willing to put their egos aside for the sake of progress and teamwork. Making some home improvements on the 24thwill deepen your enjoyment of domestic pursuits. Create a private place where you can hear yourself think.

CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th After a prolonged silence, you’ll finally get the news you have been waiting for in the early days of November. On the 15th, the New Moon could see you applying to join an organisation. The people you meet will appreciate your leadership ability. A Lunar Eclipse on the 30thbrings an end to a troubling health matter, allowing you to become more active.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

Resist the impulse to buy someone’s affection on the 1st; you deserve to be loved for your heart, not the size of your bank account. A stalled project will start moving forward again on the 3rd, filling you with excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead. You’ll win praise for a job well done on the 24th; there may be an end of year bonus to look forward to.

CANCER June 22nd - July 23rd Don’t be discouraged by a loved one’s pessimistic and down-hearted outlook on the 1st; you can always find a little joy regardless of your circumstances.

Encourage your business or romantic partner to undergo a radical transformation on the 12th; they’ll appreciate your support and the changes they make will make things better for all concerned.

Stop letting your best friend or romantic partner dictate the terms of your relationship on the 9th; it’s critical to be more assertive and lay down some firm red lines. Flattery will get you nowhere with a stern relative on the 16th. Instead of trying to win over this family member, it would be better to please yourself and do your own thing.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd After a prolonged period of silence, you’ll finally hear from a government agency, hospital or university after the 3rd. A romantic encounter on the 10thwill make you feel like you’re walking on air. A Lunar Eclipse on the 30thputs an end to a financial obligation, allowing you to forge a new path. Instead of being tied to your neighbourhood, you can look for work in other parts of the world.

A postponed legal or official issue will be rescheduled after the 3rd; you’ll be relieved to resolve this issue. On the 15th, the New Moon finds you working with powerful people who appreciate your resourceful behaviour. The Lunar Eclipse at the end of November marks a turning point in a romance. Someone will get engaged or married, setting off a string of celebrations.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th It will be much easier to clarify your thoughts and come to terms with your ambitions at the start of November; spend a few moments thinking about what you really want to achieve. The New Moon on the 15th inspires you to write a book, record a podcast or launch a website. Putting your ideas before the public will boost your professional stature.

Motoring That’s Mans Work, That Is

By Iain Betson

Iain Betson dreams that many TLAs make light work.

Men! Ever washed your car? Vacuumed the inside?

Waxed the paintwork or shampooed the upholstery?

Of course you have, ever since the dawn of the motorcar, that’s what Sundays have been for.

Now the same question to the ladies? I bet the answer is mostly in the negative.

I was contemplating this question the other weekend as I gave one of our cars a bit of TLC. It usually goes through the local auto-wash but on occasion, as it’s not a big car, I give it a good manual clean, apply some elbow grease and spend time with a bucket, sponge and wax, on the drive. And when it comes to the interior it’s always me, bi-weekly, with the upright and the duster.

To diverge slightly, we

28

have moved around a fair bit, at the last count about 8 moves in 10 years; the tax man isn’t chasing us or anything, but I do sometimes think we would be better off in a motorhome. Anyhow, as a result my wife and I have made a fair number of house viewings.

Sometimes I would leave a property saying, “That’s the one for us� only to evoke a response of “No way, did you see the colour of the bathroom�.

On the surface, to a man, WKLV VHHPV TXLWH EDIĂ LQJ , mean, in time, bathrooms can be replaced, so why the negative answer?

Women, by nature I think, are more house proud, for some reason - genes, conditioning, peer pressure or whatever - they just are.

Remember the stereotypical image of a single chap, happy to live on beer and a take-away, consumed in

a chair in front of the telly, never cleaning the house and quite happy about it too? I’m pretty sure single woman just won’t do this – an ordered house and home is a must.

Yet this is in stark contrast to the state of the cars the sexes drive. My wife will gladly drive around in a motor, the interior of which has more pebbles in the footwell than Brighton beach and wheels so soot blackened that they rival the cast of Oliver. Me, I look at the state of both inside and outside and think, “That’s a job for Sunday�. So why this clean car, clean house role reversal? Sorry to be so blunt but, in short, I don’t know, haven’t a clue, I’m a bloke you see.

From my side I can see why cars should be clean, and if the toilet is in need of a makeover well that’s ÀQH EXW ,¡P GDUQHG LI , can see it from a woman’s perspective; unless, of
