WINTER
FEBRUARY
Has been a very mixed month weather-wise. We've had our sunglasses on and shirt sleeves, through to thick thermals and 4 layers battling the snow and ice. We have been out and about in the garden on the good days, to see what needs attention.
Plants of the Month: Snowdrops and Iris Reticulata
Here's afew things we have been doing in our own, and our client gardens that you can do too;
1. Dig the soil over, or turn any compost (if it's not too wet).
2. Tidy up any debris on beds and the lawn; branches, twigs and remaining leaves.
3. Weed difficult spaces like rockeries now, before the weeds get a hold.
4. Prune your roses and wisteria. Cut back trees, hedges, shrubs and ivy whilst they are dormant.
5. Plant hardy evergreens if you're planning a new border so they can get established.
6. Buy your seeds and compost so you're ready for Spring sowing. We are currently sowing sweet peas and cosmos.
