THE WINTER MONTHS CAN BE USED FOR PROTECTING AND IMPROVING YOUR PATCH SO IT CAN FLOURISH
AS FEBRUARY marches on, the garden can feel paused, but it’s a brilliant time to get organised.
The best jobs now are the ones that protect plants, improve soil, and make spring work easier, without pushing growth too soon.
The easiest wins for wildlife
Natural food is still limited, so keep feeders topped up with high-energy options like sunflower hearts and suet.
Refresh drinking water daily, and if it freezes, melt ice with lukewarm water to avoid smashing the bowl.
