Grow your own...January
- There is still time to prune apple and pear trees.
- Vegetable crop rotation can be planned for the coming season.
- Forcing rhubarb can now be started.
- Ventilate the greenhouse on sunny days this will help reduce a build up of damaging spores.
- Weather permitting, dig over any vacant plots in preparation for early planting and sowing.
- Propagators can be washed and sterilized ready for the coming season.
- Clean and sterilize the greenhouse.
In the garden...January
- Check stakes, ties and other support materials for damage especially after gales.
- Keep feeding the birds, as they have probably striped trees and bushes of their berries by now.
- Repair and reshape lawn edges.
- Stored tubers of Dahlias and corms of Begonias should be inspected for rot and drying out.
- Soil conditions permitting, trees and shrubs can be planted.
- Now is a good time to purchase and put up bird boxes.
- Remember to get the lawn mower serviced.
