TO DO LIST
Cut well-budded stems of Witch Hazel, winter jasmine and other winter-flowering shrubs a few days before you want to use them in arrangements.
Sow troughs of mixed baby leaf salads and keep on a windowsill indoors to produce garnishes over Christmas and New Year.
There’s still time to plant tulip and hyacinth bulbs, and should you discover any bags of other bulbs that you forgot, plant them anyway.
