What to do with your bean roots

 When clearing up your old frazzled bean or pea plants, do make sure that you leave the roots in the soil. The reason for doing so is, that came mid winter, the little nodules will explode in the soil and realise much needed nitrogen. 

Your main planting of spring cabbage should take place now so that they are well on their way before winter gets a grip.

Now is the time to prune your summer Raspberries. You do this by cutting out all the old fruiting wood at the base, leaving the young shoots to grow and produce fruit for next year. You should still be harvesting Autumn fruit.
