Winter is surely with us, as evidenced by my repeatedly frozen garden in the mornings, but there is still plenty to do in the garden. Here's a top ten list of jobs for the next month:
- Tidy all your hardy perennials, ready for next years growth.
- Sow early peas and broad beans.
- Clear untidy borders and put some mulch down.
- Service the lawnmower and clean up summer tools.
- Put shrubs in pots in the greenhouse or growhouse.
- Check fences and sheds for damage, ready for those windy days!
- Check hose pipes and micro irrigation / auto watering systems for wear, then pack away.
- Prune established trees, and plant new ones.
- Take rose cuttings, and set in trenches.
- Plant rhubarb crowns, but manure the ground properly first (horse is my favourite).
