This is a great time to start as the growth is slowing down. Try to get all the structural stuff in place and don't discard anything--we made flower beds with rocks we dug up and old pieces of wood for edging(joined together with old hinges and various pieces of metal). Good time also for putting in bulbs for next spring--always a good investment as they divide and multiply and come back every year. Watch out for bargains in garden centres. I got a load of potbound herbs in woodies for 20c each , once they got a good watering and were put in the ground they were fine. Also plants that have finished flowering and/or have been cut back eg, hydrangea, pinks, senetti etc. Buy them cheap, pop them in the ground, and they will have all winter to rest and recover before flowering again. Happy gardening, Eibhlin.
