Is my Mary right contained by wise saying that gardens should be moved out to personality over the winter? We're in Shropshire

We're in Shropshire
Answers:    I conjecture Mary is correct. Let nature do its course. near are obvious things to do prior to start of winter, such as half prune roses to prevent wind-rock, tidy up the leaves, after leave your garden to the vagaries of the winter, the plants are used to it. By faffing more or less you are probably compacting your wet lawns. dawdle till the first signs of nice weather, then budge mad. I can't dawdle till, spring, with adjectives its expectations, is the best time of the year. Pity those expectations are not always fulfilled
Yes - your Mary Mary isn't anyone quite contrary - the garden wishes to sleep during the winter, so apart from a general tidy, once the leaves hold been rake up, there's nothing much to do.
Enjoy the rest!
