Remove all plant debris from the vegetable patch: this will reduce the spread of diseases and pests!
If you want to be save from vampires, now is the ideal time to plant garlic, a winter vegetable.
If you want to propagate plants such as Rosa, Cotinus, Salix and Forsythia take hardwood cuttings now!
A little care can keep hanging baskets going: however once they are past their best, replant with spring bedding plants!
Plant autumn onion sets now: they will be ready for harvest in early to mid-summer next year!
Now is a good time to fix and replace any shed roof leaks, broken glasshouse panes, or worn glazing putty!
Is there already any risk of frost in your area? Do not forget to prevent your pond from freezing over!
Bring tender plants inside: do not forget to check them for pests and diseases they may have picked up in the garden!
Do you regularly clear up fallen leaves? You can place them on the compost heap or use them as mulch!
