5 tips for your autumn garden

We have stepped deep into this year's autumn, and winter is practically just around the corner. However, that does not mean that we can no longer enjoy the garden. In these remaining sunny days, we must make the most of the moments even more and soak up the last warm rays of sunshine. That is why we have prepared 5 tips for you on how to make the most of these warm days and how to prepare your garden for its winter sleep.

What could be nicer than spending a day with your family in the fresh air? Chestnut season is in full swing, so take your family and head to the nearby forest for this delicious fruit. Light up the barbecue in the garden and prepare an excellent dish with the chestnuts you gathered. What could be even nicer than that? You breathed in the fresh air and, above all, created new and beautiful memories with your family. Priceless!

As winter is truly approaching, it is important to put away all the things you will not need in your garden shed. Bicycles, wheelbarrows, lawn mowers, etc., will safely overwinter sheltered in the garden shed. This will make the garden look nicer, as there will be no clutter, and at the same time protect your gardening tools from winter conditions. And all ski enthusiasts, don't forget to prepare your skis for the snowy slopes. If you keep them in the attic during the year, just move them to the shed. This will help you avoid panic before leaving and quickly «dash off» to the nearby hill.

Make sure time doesn't overtake you. In the garden, finish the last tasks. Since the cold comes quickly, it is important to harvest the vegetables, that you have tended and grown throughout the year. This way, during the winter you will ensure you have food from the home garden and also save a few euros. If necessary, protect your wooden products, as winter is long and damp. And last but not least, mow the grass one more time. ? This will allow your garden and your products to rest during the winter and prepare for spring.

We already mentioned that picking and roasting chestnuts is one of the more fun things to do. However, it is far from the only one. If you are among those who are not fond of chestnuts, no worries. Grab a chair or some wooden bench, or even better, a DECK CHAIR! Bring it into the garden and just enjoy the caress of the sun's rays. If you also have a good read with you, you have practically already won.

For a more active way to spend the last warm days, fun games will do the trick. Invite friends and play a game of football. You can also have family games and competitions. Just let your imagination run wild and enjoy.

During the day it is still just warm enough to have one last picnic with your friends (with whom you had been playing football a little earlier), and family. The menu features plenty of homegrown vegetables, as roasted peppers from the garden truly are among the very best. If, in addition, you also serve good meat and chestnut purée, you will be proclaimed a master chef. With good wine and company, this afternoon lunch will quickly turn into evening.

With these tips, you will ensure for yourself and your garden a peaceful winter, during which you will rest and prepare for new spring endeavors.
