If it's fairly mild and dry, I do cut the Lawns and trim the edges. I also collect any fallen leaves and compost them. I tend to try to keep the Front and back gardens neat and tidy during the winter months weather permitting!!!

If it's anything like last winter, in an armchair with lots of tea till the weather improves.

In other words, if the ground is sodden or the lawn frozen leave well alone.

Hi there,

There are quite a variety or pre-winter tidy-up and protection tasks that will sort out your garden for winter. There's a handy article on this very subject at Ecocharlie, as follows:

I do a final weeding and mow the lawn, plus trim the edges. I also cut down any perennial stems that don't help to protect the plants and prune off any long stems of roses to prevent wind rock - if you could look out of my window now, I'd be blown off my feet here!! I shred any prunings, mulch over beds with last year's composted shreddings, gather fallen leaves for composting in bags after emptying them of last year's contents, maybe empty a compost bin for mulch too so I can refill with winter's stuff. Ha-ha-ha- with this annus horribilis that we have had, I am WELL behind, but that is my intention and goal if both me and the weather give us chance!!! ::)
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.
