overwintering plants?

Hi,

I have just read that its best to offer some protection to your plants over the winter. I have only just this year got into gardening and my garden is full with things such as passion flower, jasmine, dahlia's, geraniums, and allsorts of other shrubs. All of which i either grew from scratch this year or planted in, so i dont know how well established they are.

My plan was to get a load of manure and spread it all around my garden for the winter. But I have now read that I ought to be covering with fleece or bringing plants inside. Does anybody do this?

I live down in (not so) sunny cornwall. Have been in this house for 4 and a half years and the very few plants I had have been fine without any help from me.

But obviously after all the effort I put in this year I dont want to lose anything. Thanx for your help.

I don't know about the others but my jasmine and passion flower do alright up here in freezing Yorkshire outside over winter. I never do anything like cover them up.
