IN THE GREENHOUSE
Cuttings
As soon as cuttings taken earlier in the season have produced a good root system, or plants have outgrown their pots, pot them into a slightly larger pot. Try and use the same compost as they were potted in before. Don't overfill with compost, but leave a gap at the top of the pot that can be watered into.
Fuchsias
Many young plants, including fuchsias, benefit from having their shoot tips pinched out to encourage branching. If left, shoots can grow very long and lanky, while pinching out creates bushier plants with more stems that ultimately carry more blooms.
Take cuttings
Take cuttings of geraniums, fuchsias, coleus and other houseplants. They will root quickly at this time of year
Tomatoes
Tap the blooms on greenhouse tomatoes to improve pollination. The same can be done for the ones you grow in the porch or windowsill
