WHAT TO DO IN OCTOBER
■ Sow dwarf varieties of broad beans under cover to give you a crop of fresh bean pods early next summer.
■ Keep harvesting crops such as dwarf French beans, spinach, baby carrots, chard, pak choi and salads through autumn.
■ Garlic grows well under cover and if planted directly into the soil now it will be ready to lift next May and June.
■ Tomatoes will carry on ripening until the weather turns cold and to help with air circulation remove the foliage up the stems.
■ Sow
