Now is the best time to do the most important garden cutback and clean up in Spain and other countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea to ensure that next summer's garden is at it's best. The above phgotographs indicate what needs doing to bougainvillea climbers. With the colder months ahead plant growth is low and what continues tends to produce untidy straggly plants. A comprehensive list of the main prunings and other jobs will be found in the book 'Your Garden in Spain' avialable on A mazon Books and other internet bookshoips.
