Flowers and Fruit to plant in October.

In the ornamental garden and cut flower patch, you can make final sowings of hardy annuals to overwinter for an earlyy flush of spring flowers, along with perennials that need a cold spell to aid germination, such as primulas. Phacelia. 

Currents and gooseberries are also available to buy cheaply as bare-root plants between October and March. Plant them as soon as they arrive, as this gives them the best chance of becoming established before temperatures fall. You can plant them in a temporary spot (known as heeling in) if you need to.
