LOOK FOR ROT Check over tubers, fruits and vegetables that are in storage for signs of rot and mould. Maintain good air circulatio­n in greenhouse­s to help stave off fungal diseases such as grey mould. WATCH FOR WEEDS If the weather is mild, watch out for annual weeds such as hairy bitter cress germinatin­g and hoe them off promptly to keep them at bay. BOOST LIGHT Wipe down the glass on greenhouse­s and cold frames to maximise light for the plants that are overwinter­ing inside. KNOCK OFF SNOW Snow can weigh down branches causing damage and spoiling the shape of plants, so gently shake or brush it off.
