🌬️ Check for Early Frost Dates – Be Ready, Gardeners! 🌬️
In the UK, the average first frost can creep in from late September in colder northern areas, and mid-to-late October further south, but local microclimates make a big difference!
A single frost can damage or kill tender plants like dahlias, begonias, and outdoor tomatoes. Knowing your frost date helps you plan when to lift bulbs, harvest crops, and bring pots under cover.
3 Easy Steps to Prepare:
Find Your Local Average Frost Date - Check the Met Office, BBC Weather, or local allotment reports.
Watch the Forecast - Night temps of 2–3°C often mean ground frost risk.
Be Frost-Ready - Keep fleeces or old bedsheets handy to cover plants overnight.
💡 Riverside Tip: In sheltered, built-up areas, frost can arrive 2–3 weeks later than rural surroundings - don’t get caught out!
📅 Challenge for You:
Drop your postcode + predicted frost date in the comments!
📍 Pop into Riverside Plants this week for advice on protecting your garden.

Whilst it’s another beautiful day, there is definitely a feeling of change as we move into Autumn (my favourite time of year!)
We have our indoor plants now available at Shadwell, a lovely selection to choose from as well as indoor pots and compost.
Look forward to seeing you soon

🌧️ Make the Most of September Showers! 🌧️
September showers aren’t just rain — they’re garden gold! Use this month’s mild, damp weather to get ahead before winter:
🌷 Plant Spring Bulbs – Daffodils, crocuses & hyacinths thrive in moist soil.
🌿 Autumn Bedding – Violas, pansies & heather root quickly in September rains.
🌳 Trees & Shrubs – Rain reduces transplant shock and helps roots spread.
🌱 Lawns – Perfect time to sow grass seed or lay turf.
💡 Tip: Keep an eye on waterlogged areas and ensure pots drain well.
📍 Visit Riverside Plants this September for bulbs, bedding & advice to make your garden bloom brighter next spring!
