1 Protect plants and pots vulnerable to frost damage
2 Add extra colour to your garden by adding hardy Cyclamen coum, which produces a carpet of pink and white blooms in the winter months
3 Earth up Brussels sprout stems to support them
4 Bring bay trees under cover to protect them from cold
5 Water plants which are overwintering under cover sparingly, to stop the roots rotting
6 Continue to clear garden debris which may be harbouring pests and diseases
7 Order or buy manure from farms or riding stables. Make sure it's well rotted if you are digging it in straight away, or stack fresher manure to rot down
8 Clean moss and algae from paths to stop them becoming slippery
9 Prune tall rose bushes, cutting them down by half to stop wind rock
Earth up spring cabbages to give them better anchorage in strong winds
