General Gardening
- Repair or replace patchy lawn and re-shape edges
- Check any stored tubers of Dahlia, Begonia and Canna for rot or drying out
- Currants and gooseberries can be pruned now
- Start forcing rhubarb
- Plan vegetable crop rotations for the coming season. Select the varieties you intend to grow during the year and buy the seeds
- Tidy beds and borders, mulch with well rotted manure, compost or bark and apply a slow release fertiliser e.g. bone meal
- To prevent branches snapping remove snow from evergreen trees and shrubs
- Avoid walking on your lawn when it is frosty, as this will cause damage
In the Greenhouse
- Ventilate the greenhouse on warm days
- Do not over water your plants, water only when the compost is dry
