Keep pruning your roses....plenty more buds left in them
Dead head perennials
Start to increase the height of the mower, don't cut the grass too low
Good time to fill in any patches with grass seed and compost, best to cover over with netting as the birds will have most of the seed
Scarify the lawn. September and October are good months to do this but bear in mind it could expose big gaps which you must fill as above.
Collect fallen fruit and remove rotting fruit from the tree
Split perennials that have over grown their space and plant out.
Cultivate vegetables, any extra left over make friends and give them away
Compost your dying material as this is great value for money in the coming year.
Get some good pickling ideas and make use of any extra fruit and veg.
