Autumn is well and truly upon us, which means it's time to start thinking about bringing your tender plants undercover – especially if you want them to survive until next spring! If you're not sure were to start, don't worry as Monty Don has shared his list of the plants to start bringing in for October.

There's a fair bit to get done before the cold weather starts to take hold so you need to get started on your overwintering schedule. Why? Because, once overnight temperatures drop below 10-12°C, tender plants will need some protection, and bringing them in undercover is one of the quickest ways to achieve this goal.
