It's a beautiful time of year, with the trees changing colour. This is in response to cooler, damper conditions, which makes it an ideal time for planting and carrying out maintenance on your lawn. As the leaves fall, gathering them up to make leaf mould will provide you with free homemade mulch for next year. Check the forecast regularly for frost and bring tender plants inside for winter.

2 Cut back perennials that have died down
3 Divide herbaceous perennials
4 Divide established rhubarb crowns to create new plants
5 Plant out spring cabbages
6 Harvest apples, pears, grapes and nuts
7 Prune climbing roses
8 Finish collecting seeds from the garden to sow next year
9 Last chance to mow lawns and trim hedges in mild areas
