| In the Ornamental Garden there is a red and
orange glow from remaining fruits on the main
crab apple plantings. The tall winter cherry
autumnalis `Rosea` and a bush specimen of `The
Bride` are blooming merrily. Emergence of the
winter hellebores provides a reminder that
we've just gone full circle and amazingly there
are still a few roses in bloom. |

What better way to escape the preparations
for Christmas than a quiet hour or two with
a seed catalogue? A pleasant diversion for
gardeners tired of the same old festive repeats
on television.

Its time to get crafty for Christmas -
prune your holly and make wreathes and decorations,
a bunch of holly tied with a simple ribbon
offers a contemporary minimalist look to
the old favourite.

Whilst you have the old secateurs out
prune vines and hybrid tea roses and cut
back pelargoniums. If you're preparing for
the festive over-indulgences with a spot
of gardening as exercise, now is the time
to dig over your annual borders. This activity
seems to work muscles you didn't realise
you had!

| Remember to ventilate your plant frames,
cloches and greenhouse and check the protective
material you have used on your tender plants. |
