- Autumn -it the prefect time to move plants or remove plants .
- Now is the time to plant bulbs for spring as well as plant bare-root shrubs and trees.
- Divide perennials.
- Remove weeds and spent annuals from your beds.
- Look out for pests and diseases, and take appropriate action.
- Take root cuttings from perennials.
- Wrap terracotta pots in bubble plastic or pack in mulch for frost protection.
- Bring plants that need a frost-free minimum winter temperature into a mildly heated greenhouse or conservatory, or cool room in your home.
- Harvest winter crops.
- Wrap potted plants that need protection in low temperatures in layers of horticultural fleece before freezing weather strikes. Move the pot to a sheltered spot.
- Apply mulch, don't do this to early, I suggest after the first freeze, this will prevent pests and disease.
