Sat 10 Oct 2007Get out and gardenWork done now will set the garden up nicely for next spring, giving you a head start on that busiest of seasons. Also, if it's not raining or blowing, this is one of the most invigorating times of year to be outdoors, writes Jane Powers.So if the day is clement, get outside, breathe in the autumn smells, have a little stretch to warm up the muscles, and get cracking. Your garden will be a nicer place, and you'll be a fitter, happier person.
