What needs doing on the allotment this November? Join me, Gardening with Ben, as I explore the practical jobs that help protect your crops, care for your soil and keep your plot ready for winter.Following yesterday’s November planting guide, this episode focuses on looking after what’s already growing and making steady progress as the days get shorter.We cover: • Preparing for frost and protecting vulnerable plants. • Checking winter vegetables, netting and supports. • Cleaning and maintaining the greenhouse or polytunnel. • Clearing finished crops and protecting empty beds. • Collecting leaves and managing compost. • Checking fruit plants and stored apples. • Leaving food and shelter for wildlife. • Securing structures and protecting water equipment. • Cleaning and organising gardening tools. • Choosing realistic priorities for the month.Along the way, I share examples from my Sheffield allotment, including recent storm checks, polytunnel repairs and work on the new growing area.You don’t need to complete everything in one weekend. Choose the jobs that suit your plot, the conditions and the time you have.What’s your biggest gardening priority this November?
