PRUNE
beech hazel roses [leave prunus (ornamental cherries, plums and almonds) as they're vulnerable to silver leaf disease so best leave to spring] cut back autumn fruiting raspberries to the ground cut out crossing and inward growing branches of gooseberries and redcurrants and cut the rest by a third |
KEEP HARVESTING
parsnips leeks JOBS turn the compost mulch |
SOW in the GREENHOUSE / WINDOWSILL
sweet peas dianthus towards the end of January tomatoes cucumber and peas can all be planted in seed trays sow spring salad crops - rocket, mizuna, tom thumb lettuce, curly endive and mizuna - in seed trays - then plant in the greenhouse to harvest from mid-March to mid-May if you don't have a greenhouse then wait - be patient! sow chillies but they need heat either a heat mat or a windowsill above a radiator |
not too late to plant tulips but you need to hurry!
plant onion sets - but if its too wet you can plant them in plugs in the greenhouse to plant out when the soil is dryer
