Autumn is the time when you prepare your garden for a bountiful spring. Think about which what vegetables you’d like and the herbs that will complement the delicious dishes you’ll be able to make with your home-grown garden produce. 

Now is also the perfect time to go to your local nursery and choose an autumn foliage tree for your garden. It’s also a great time to plant a shrub or tree, because anything planted now will have a chance to send its roots out and establish, rest over winter and then power away in spring.
