Gardening expert: October jobs for the garden – it's 'a perfect time'

“So, you’ve still got time for daffodils, hyacinth, crocus, alliums.

“It’s a great time to get them in the ground as long as it’s not waterlogged.”

Another gardener, Mark Lane, gave Express.co.uk a key piece of pruning advice. 

The Gardeners’ World presenter said: “I urge people, please remember brown is actually a colour within the garden that we should embrace a little bit more.”

He encourages gardeners to leave their borders during the winter, instead of pruning them back.
