It's time to...
Take root cuttings of oriental poppies
Check stakes and ties are secure on trees and climbers
Move containers of shrubs or winter bedding to a sheltered spot when conditions turn very cold
Plant new rose bushes
Empty pots of spent annuals and compost the remains
Transplant shrubs that have outgrown their position
Lift and store dahlia tubers once their leaves are blackened by frost
Prune rambling roses after flowering
Rake autumn leaves from lawns and pick them out of borders for composting
Pile bark mulch over the crowns of hardy fuchsias to provide protection from cold
Today
Tomorrow
