- Give fruit trees and bushes a dressing of autumn fertiliser, low in nitrogen but high in potassium and phosphorus.
- Keep an ear open for the weather forecast, low temperatures may mean turning on the heat in the greenhouse.
- Prune climbing roses, cutting out any dead wood together with some of the oldest growths, tying in new growths.
