Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange, the podcast between myself, Arthur Parkinson, and my friend Sir Raven.

Today we're going to talk about slowly starting to clear the garden, getting it sort of ready

for winter as things start to go over and some of you may have already even had the first frost which means we need to

start preparing pots and borders and the garden to make it look like it's ready for welcoming

and being prepared for the season of winter ahead of us.

Yes, well you're right. It really depends where you're in the country, doesn't it? And so here in Sussex, certainly we haven't had our first frost yet. But you never know. And for certain people,

there have already been frost. So if you're high up or if you're further north,

there have been frost. So we just thought it was a good subject just so everyone can get their

heads around it. And it's kind of one of those nice things like you start lighting the fire

and you start thinking about bringing tender things inside because you don't want to miss that moment

where, you know, your citrus has already been scorched or your pelagoniums have been frosted

if they're in pots, you want to bring them in. So what would be your first thing, Arthur,

do you think if you felt it was getting really chilly at night and in the flower yard what would you be

thinking of doing? Certainly all the pelagoniums would probably be in and also if I had any of

them which I don't this year but if I did chrysanphemums they'd be brought into any vacant areas of a

greenhouse which I know you do at Perch Hill religiously,

particularly because often in November we're still teaching flower-ranging, aren't we?

So we need the chrysanthemes.

And if they're left out in the garden, they just get ruined, even though they can cope with

a bit of cold, the wet and the damp, it just destroys them.

And if your greenhouse is empty, and normally it will be by then. It's a perfect thing to do, isn't it, to march all your tender things in,
