Where did the year go!! It’s now time to tidy up for the winter and sort out the winter bedding and spring bulbs. I always aim to get this done by the end of the month as November does not bring a lot of motivation and what doesn’t get done waits until spring.

Finish off any lawn maintenance this month and start raking up the leaves as they fall to allow the grass to get light. After October the lawn tends to be permanently wet and it is best to avoid too much foot traffic which compacts the soil and just creates a mud pie. Normally October is the time for the last cut although if the weather remains warm and fairly dry this can be done in November, although I never manage it.

With temperatures dropping the first hard frost will finish off half hardy plants, so think about lifting dahlia and begonia tubers and gladiolus corms. They can be stored in dry compost. Move any tender pot plants into a frost free greenhouse or conservatory. Failing that, use fleece or bubble wrap and get them off the ground to give them a chance.

Keep planting spring bulbs but wait for November to put the tulips in (my wife does that). Just throw them on the soil and plant them where they fall to give a random natural appearance. Continue planting spring bedding such as wallflowers, bellis, primulas, pansies and violas for a good spring show. Similarly any plants grown from perennial seed earlier in the year can go out. Summer containers will be coming to an end so these too can be refreshed and planted up with winter bedding.

Bareroot trees, shrubs and hedging can still be planted. Now is also a good time to plant new clematis. Give everything a good tidy up, remove the autumn weeds to avoid a big job in the spring. Re-position perennials that get too crowded and divide large roots while the soil is still warm. After tidying you can mulch with bark chips, well rotted manure or leaf mould.

Finish harvesting the beans and just cut them down at ground level and leave the roots in the soil. This provides a slow release of nitrogen as the roots break down. Dig your trench for next year at least 12'' deep and start collecting all the compost and kitchen waste. Just leave it to rot down through the winter and early spring. Tomatoes have been poor this year and mine are now completely riddled with blight. I tried “Sweet Aperitif” which first suffered hormonal damage now blight, so back to the old favourite “Suncherry Premium” which I think is sweeter anyway. If you have fared better, take the crop, try and ripen the green ones on a windowsill and clear the ground. Do not compost if there is any sign of blight.

Harvest squash, pumpkin and marrows before the first frost, which will ruin them and store in a frost free place. Finish lifting any maincrop potatoes, cut cabbage leaving the root in the ground and cut a cross in the stem to encourage winter greens. Wait for the frosts before starting on parsnips as this breaks the starch down into sugar and sweetens them. Start lifting leeks which will happily stand through the winter until early spring. Protect autumn cauliflower with fleece or wrap the outer leaves around them and tie with string. Give the vegetable patch a good tidy up and plant out the autumn garlic and onions.

Complete harvesting apples and pears and make sure plum trees are now pruned. Plant up next year’s strawberry patch using rooted runners, and plant or divide rhubarb. Tidy the greenhouse, now is a good time to disinfect so that pests and diseases do not overwinter and remove shading.

That’s nearly it for the year, time to slow down and think about the year ahead. It’s a bit sad so I will cheer myself up......Cheers......that’s better!

We are always looking for new members and try to encourage a fun attitude towards friendly competition. So if you want to grow your own fruit, vegetables and flowers or even enter any of the 3 shows we hold each year, then please get in touch, we would be happy to hear from you.
