Winter is coming.
Despite the phrase, this has nothing to do with game of thrones. This is about my thoughts on preparing for winter and getting all the necessary items together. At this time of year, many shops and garden centers have discounts on the products we find useful. It's worth buying things now while I can so as they are ready for when I need them.
Items I mention that I will be buying include the following. click on the images to buy from Amazon.
crop fleece to protect crops from the frost.
cloche tunnel to create a warmer environment
crop netting to protect crops from hungry birds.
So please listen to find out more. Don't forget to add any comments below.

Hi Richard, I lost all the leaves on my gooseberries too, in my case it was saw fly caterpillars, it took two days and the caterpillars and leaves were gone!
