There is still plenty to do in your garden in January! Take a look at some simple tips to help you:
- Protect Plants from Frost
Use fleece, cloches, or mulch to protect delicate plants from frost damage. Check coverings regularly to ensure they’re secure during windy weather. - Prune Fruit Trees
Winter is the perfect time to prune apple and pear trees. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to encourage healthy growth in spring. - Prepare Soil for Spring
Turn over garden beds and add organic matter like compost or well-rotted manure. This will improve soil structure and nutrients for spring planting. - Feed the Birds
Provide food and water for garden birds. They help control pests and will appreciate the support during the colder months. - Check Stored Bulbs
Inspect any bulbs, or stored vegetables for signs of rot or pests. Remove any affected items to prevent the spread of disease!
