Winter borders
I have only the past year started growing my own plants the problem I have is I don’t know when to change my summer borders to the winter ones. I have some lovely Dahlias which are still in flower so should I leave them in the borders and plant my winter pansies and bulbs around them. thanks in advance for any advice.

If you have light , free draining soil and live in a mild area, you could leave them in the ground, if your soil is heavy/ you get lots of winter rain or/VERY hard frosts, I'd lift the dahlias.
If there is little room between the dahlias to plant winter bulbs around them you could start them off in pots and then transfer them to the border once it's cleared. Winter pansies can also be grown on in pots till you're ready.
