Jobs to do in the garden this month.

 Gardening Diary

Continue weeding & hoeing.
A good month for cutting hedges.
Cut & dry herbs.
Take cuttings of lavender, rosemary and sage. Pot up and put in a shaded cold frame.

As early crops are used dig & refertilise the ground for replanting.
Sow spring cabbage, winter lettuce, onions & spinach.
Plant winter green crops.
Earth up kale, leeks etc.
At the end of the month lift onions & expose to sun to dry.
Feed asparagus beds.
Watch out for caterpillars.
Remember to pick your veg regularly.

Pinch back gooseberries.
Cut out fruited wood on peaches, nectarines & blackcurrants.
Thin out apples while they are small. If the fruits are too close together you will get several small fruits, thinning out will produce larger fruit.
Plant new beds of strawberries.
Continue training apples & pears.
Summer prune pear trees, so that all sideshoots are shortened back to six leaves.
Reduce raspberry canes to 5 a plant.
Dead head your flowers.
Plant early spring bulbs outside.
Plant out plugs of wildflowers where you intend them  to become naturalised in grass.
Continue spraying roses for mildew, greenfly & black spot.
Lift, divide & replant Irises.
Larger single chrysanthemums should be disbudded.
Roses - Dead-head regularly.

Semi-ripe cuttings will root for next spring.
Prune rambling roses & wisteria.
Continue mulching.
Evergreens can be layered & hedges trimmed.
Take cuttings & layers of shrubs.
Continue cutting & edging.
Dig over ground where a new lawn will be sown at the end of the month.
Last feed should be applied in the middle of the month.

Watch for low night temperatures and condensation as this encourages mildew.
Keep ventilated.
Pinch out tips of tomatoes & stop watering & feeding.
At the end of the month empty greenhouse and thoroughly clean.

Bring in houseplants & exotic plants from outside.
Feed & water for winter growth.
Keep in a cool shady place.
