October 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!

Continue harvesting crops as they mature.
Main crop potatoes should be ready for lifting this month. If the top growth is still green, then cut it off when the remaining stem has dried. Wait 2 weeks to allow the potatoes to harden and then dig them up.
Plant out spring cabbage to its final position, and thin out turnips.
Order manure if required.
