The months have slipped by so quickly that Christmas is upon us once again. We hope that this years gardening tips and advice have produced some green fingers amongst our readers!
While some our of our attention is drawn to Christmas Shopping and Festive Cheer let's not neglect our outdoor space, there are still odd jobs to do in December!
Protect your tender plants
Very tender plants, for example, Lemon Trees should be brought into a covered area now - a conservatory or porch or a frost free greenhouse. Cover half hardy plants with mulch to protect them. For longer plants get the frost fleece out!
Feed the Birds
As the weather gets colder, the birds will be running out of resources, so its important to start feeding them. Vary the food you put out, mixed seed, nyger seeds, fat balls and peanuts will attract different types of birds into the garden. Ensure the water in the bird bath does not freeze over.
Clean Up
Clear gutters and drains, remove fallen leaves from the garden and insulate outdoor taps with lagging to prevent freezing.
With Best Wishes for the Festive Season and New Year from all at the Garden Pavilion.
