January

Seeds - now is the time to start buying seeds for sowing early in the year especially if you can provide a little warmth in the form of a heated propagator or greenhouse. We at Frasers offer an early buy incentive in the form of a 20% discount if you buy five or more packets of Mr Fothergills seeds.

Ponds - remember to make sure that there is always an air hole in ice on your pond. Either use a pond heater (from £14.99) or hot tap water to melt a hole.

Lawns - don't walk on frozen grass as it can damage leaves only showing up once it has thawed.

Shrubs - make sure slightly tender evergreens are protected by fleece. This can be bought as either protection jackets or cut from the roll.

Bulbs - new seasons summer flowering bulbs will be arriving at Frasers early February so make a wish list. Check any bulbs lifted and stored in Autumn to make sure that they aren't going mouldy. Treat as necessary with sulphur dust.

HAPPY GARDENING
