Now is a prime time to be adding compost into your soil to load up on nutrients ready for winter. Now is an ideal time to plant lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beetroot, spinach and Chinese cabbage.

In autumn, you can sow seeds for carrots, swedes, turnips and radish. If you grow pumpkins, they will be ready to harvest.

Fruit

If you are growing citrus trees in your garden, you should fertilise them unless there is frost. Bird netting can be used to protect grape vines during this time.

Flowers

During autumn, you can plant pansies, violas and polyanthus as they can tolerate cooler weather.
