November in the garden

Last chance in November

These windows are open now and shut at the end of the month. Missing the close of a sowing window usually costs a year rather than a fortnight, which is why they are listed apart from everything else that can be done in November.

Coming up in December

Nothing here can be done yet — these are the windows that open when November ends, worth knowing about now because most of them need something ordered, cleared or prepared first.

• Plant1 plant — shallot
