This time of year the leaves are falling off the trees daily with the building wind and rain. Some plants will need protecting from frost and moving into the greenhouse. Here are the TOP 10 jobs to be doing in the garden in November. 1 Clear up fallen leaves - especially from lawns, ponds and beds
2 Raise containers onto pot feet to prevent waterlogging
3 Plant tulip bulbs for a spring display next year
4 Prune roses to prevent wind-rock
5 Plant out winter bedding
6 Cover brassicas with netting if pigeons are a problem
7 Insulate outdoor containers from frost - bubblewrap works well
8 Stop winter moth damage to fruit trees using grease bands around the trunks
9 Put out bird food to encourage winter birds into the garden
10 Use a seasonal bonfire - where this is allowed - to dispose of excess debris unfit for composting
