DIVIDE PERENNIAL HERBS
Lift and divide perennial herbs such as mint, lemon balm and chives. Be careful where you plant the mint though as it can be very invasive Basil will not survive outside during the winter, so bring it into the greenhouse, or to a heated conservatory, to protect it from the cold.
CLOCHES
Cloches will protect a variety of winter crops. Including lettuce, spring cabbage, carrots, and broad beans.
GREEN MANURES
Where land is cleared of crops sow a quick growing green manure such as mustard, and dig in before it flowers, this builds up humus in the soil and stops excess fertilisers not used by crops from leaching away with the winter rains.
