Seasonal Gardening Information for January

• Don't let the snow catch you out, remove the weight of the snow from plants and trees to prevent damage.

• Consider moving plants to the sunnier position to where they can obtain the most light.

• Ventilate the greenhouse on sunnier days.

• It's a good time to reshape and tidy lawn edges, this will save work later in the season.

• Prune free standing apple and pear trees.

• Put lagging around outdoor taps and pipes to prevent freezing.

• Continue to keep your paths clear of algae and leaves to prevent slipping.
