Wales On Sunday

WHAT TO DO THIS WEEK

-

■ Throw on a jacket, woolly hat and gloves and step out into the garden as there’s plenty of winter debris to be cleared up. Remove twigs and leaves from ponds, lawns and beds; wash down patios and clean them; and make sure drains aren’t blocked with leaf litter.

■ Inject a little colour into your pots and containers with some winter pansies and primulas.

■ In the greenhouse, take dahlia tubers out of storage and coax into growth in a light, warm place. You can also get overwinter­ing fuchsias back into growth by repotting, watering and feeding.

■ Deadhead winter flowering heathers as the flowers start to go brown.

■ Prune autumn-fruiting raspberrie­s right down to ground level.
