November Tip: plant tulips in pots and then put out into the garden next spring when the tips are showing. This will help protect against mice, squirrels and rotting off.

November Task: clean out the greenhouse and wash it down with disinfectant. Scrub out empty terracotta plant pots with a weak bleach solution and store them in a frost-free place.
