It has been a glorious and almost never ending Autumn with temperatures remaining roughly one degree higher than normal. Walking through Green Park in London I noticed that many trees still have very green leaves. Nature paints a beautiful picture in Autumn and it has been wonderful to enjoy the sun and mild weather well into November.
All of this is about to change this week as much colder weather drifts in from the Artic bringing predicted frosts and even snow in some areas which is bad news for gardeners. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/24944891
The risks of frost damage and snow can be reduced by taking some simple steps to protect the plants in your garden now before the cold weather arrives.

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
