Your Monthly Guide: January

WATCH OUT:

 

  • Frost and water logged ground

  • Pigeons in brassicas.

TO DO LIST:

 

  • Dig over beds, weather permitted

  • Clean and sharpen garden tools

  • Prune apples and pears

  • Prepare new strawberry beds

  • A good time to start building projects like raised beds and new shed

  • Make your sowing list for the seasons ahead. 

WHAT SHOULD YOU SOW NOW?

 

  • A sowing of an early quick maturing carrot, such as the Nantes variety, in large pots in a cold greenhouse gives early finger carrots in June

  • If you have heat you can sow other things, but remember the days are short and light levels are low!
