Winter 2026 picks
What growers are reaching for this winter
On before the hard frosts
LowCat Tunnel Kit
Keeps salads and brassicas picking through the cold months. Shock cord pulls the cover tight so it holds through winter gales, and the whole kit packs down into a carry bag in spring. Two sizes for 75cm and 1m beds.

For winter salads
Greens Bubbler
For the winter salad harvest. Circulating currents roll the leaves gently in cold water, so grit comes off without bruising. Stainless steel, built to GAP standard, so cut, wash and bag stays one quick job on a short day.
From £429

Warm hands, warm head
Xpert Winter Essentials Set
For the frosty early harvests. Terry loop lined work socks, a fleece lined beanie and a neck snood, boxed together. One size fits all. Small kit that makes a 7am pick on a frozen morning a lot easier.

Mid November in the UK market garden
What growers are
doing right now
The days are short now and the first hard frosts are in. Growth has slowed right down outside, and what is still in the ground needs covering or lifting.
So the next few weeks are about protecting the winter crops, putting the empty beds to bed, and getting the kit cleaned and ready. Whatever you sort now is time you are not chasing in March.
01
Get the covers on and keep them on
Fleece over salads and brassicas, mesh on the hoops. Check the edges after every storm.
Take cover
02
Clear the spent beds and mulch them
Loosen the ground with the broadfork, then a few centimetres of compost on top. No turning, no bare soil over winter.
The Broadfork
03
Lift and wash the last roots
Carrots, beetroot and parsnips before the ground freezes. The foot pedal keeps both hands free at the wash stand.
Wash stand
04
Vent the tunnels on mild days
Open the doors when the sun is out to keep the damp and the mildew down. Shut them again by mid afternoon.
Tunnels and covers
05
Clean, oil and sharpen the tools
Wash off the soil, sharpen the edges and wipe the steel with oil. They will be ready to go in spring.
Hand tools
06
Plan next year and order for spring
Rotation, seed and any new kit. Order now and it is on the shelf before the first sowings.
Paperpot
Cover what is growing, mulch what is empty, and clean what you used. Spring starts in November.
