Thetime-honoured pastime in January into February of settling into a comfortable
armchair and browsing the new seed catalogues could be easily interrupted. A
little sunshine peeking through, a warmer day and you could be out there with
the hoe, clearing weeds in beds and breaking up the surface soil where winter
frosts have done their work.
Fading snowdrops can be lifted and single bulbs
replanted a good few centimetres apart. You could be cutting back old stems in
herbaceous borders, doing a bit more digging, spending time in the greenhouse
sowing sweet peas to germinate, starting Dahlias in gentle heat.

Outside again,
making a new bed for strawberries and clearing other beds ready for planting,
tidying up winter flowering heathers, deadheading winter pansies, planting
container-grown trees and shrubs will all keep you busy and warm.

want them to go.
