Gardener’s Calendar We’re largely getting to the stage of making things ready for next year’s garden, while still looking forward to some over-winter colour and looking after the most vulnerable areas.

If you have parts of the lawn which get waterlogged during winter you can spike the area properly now and brush grit or sharp sand into the holes to help improve drainage. You’ll also help the lawn by raking up fallen leaves which block out light and harm grass growth. As much as possible also take piles of leaves away from bushes and shrubs otherwise slugs and snails might use them for overwintering. Which isn’t to say you shouldn’t create wildlife habitats around the garden, just maybe not round your prize perennials.

If you’re wanting to divide and replant perennials which flower before next July – the likes of oriental poppies or lungwort – it’s best to do them now. Replant the same day if you can so they don’t suffer too much shock.

Roses planted in exposed spots, should be pruned now to stop windrock over the winter. Cut off most of this year’s growth and if there’s any sign of blackspot, don’t put cuttings in the compost as it will transmit the disease.

Tulip bulbs should be planted by the end of November. And hopefully there will be a good bit of colour this winter if you plant outdoor cyclamen, Top Tip (not the big showy ones, they’re not usually hardy enough to survive the cold), hellebores and winter pansies.

Bubble wrap your pots to stop them cracking. Not all pots are safe from frost.
