WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK

TAKE a walk through your garden and see what seeds or berries are available to collect, and keep for spring sowings.

HAVE you got all your garden furniture indoors or covered up for the winter? In the garage, these can be cleaned or rubbed with oil as necessary, or painted. early so don’t leave it until spring. In general they don’t require any pruning but if there is branch that is in an awkward position or is diseased, now is the time to give it the chop.

VINES can be pruned hard, back to two buds of last year’s growth.
