January
I am pleased to say the Fieldfares have arrived with the snow. I was worried that I would have to pick up tons of windfall apples in my small orchard. I shouldn't have worried,the problem is well on the way to being resolved. There are at least 100 of these beautiful birds getting tipsy as I type.
Anyway, back to what I was going to say, in the first place.
January usually has some sparkling days, in which to get on with things but the weather at this time of year can prevent the gardener from doing very much, keep off wet soil, you can do more damage than good working wet soil.
Get in the greenhouse and clean it and any pots, trays etc. I still use jeyes fluid for mine.
Its a good time to do any last minute planning , look through books and catalogues.
Its a good time to think about wild life especially birds, we can put out food at this time of year and don't forget they need fresh water on those frosty days.
Get that mower in for service as soon as you can, don't leave it to late, your lawn may need an early cut.
Happy new year and happy gardening
