Gardening Jobs to Be Done During January
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010If the January weather remains cold you may find that there isn’t much you can actually do outside especially if the ground remains frozen. With Christmas now over you will have finished with your Christmas tree, remember this can be recycled by garden centres and you may find that councils will also provide a recycling service.
Your Garden Lawns
Much the same as in December it is advisable to stay off your lawn if frosty. Look to repair any damaged edges the lawn may have. If the ground isn’t frozen then you may be able to lay any turf you need to. If you have any hollows, these can be filled. Cut and folding back, fill the gap with topsoil and then fold back again.
You’re Greenhouse
Your greenhouse should be heated to around 5 degrees C. Anything below this may cause a loss of your Fuchsias and Geraniums. Cleaning your pots and seed trays is a dull but important job. This will help reduce the risk of pests in your greenhouse. In the case of heavy snow remember to clear the greenhouse to allow maximum sunlight inside.
