TO DO LIST

-

Continue gathering fallen leaves, adding them to the compost bin or bagging them up separately, dampening them and leaving them for six to 12 months to make leaf mould.

Dig up and divide Michaelmas daisies and other late-flowering perennial asters once all the flowers are over. Most other perennials are better divided in spring.

Tuck a generous mulch around the base of hardy fuchsias, phygelius and any other slightly tender shrubs that will regrow from the base if the tops are killed by severe frost.
