More tips from Pete Anderson - October 2009
Monday, October 12th, 2009October There is the possibility of frost this month, which will finish off the non-hardy plants – runner beans, courgettes, marrows, french beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.
Early brussels sprouts and leeks may be ready this month.
Autumn-flowering raspberries should be ready, but do not cut down the stems until spring.
Start winter digging, and prepare the runner beans trench (although this can be left until spring ).
Remove yellow leaves from cabbage and brussels sprouts.
Sow winter broad beans and autumn garlic.
Tidy up your plot!
