Gardeners plant trees and bulbs now to establish roots before summer heat

Gardeners should plant trees, shrubs and spring bulbs now while soil is moist, allowing roots to establish before summer heat arrives. Late autumn also suits seed saving from dried flowerheads, taking cuttings and dividing perennials to propagate free plants. Prune shrubs lightly, leave fallen leaves as mulch for soil health, and plant cool-season crops like garlic and broad beans.
