Monty Don urges all gardeners to get key item to protect plants all winter Even though it might not seem like it right now, climate change has made winters warmer and wetter.

Monty also recommends securing the fleece lightly with twine, which ensures it stays in place but is also easy to remove once the weather warms up.
