December
Compost heaps ~ Turning the compost heap is a good job for a sunny winters day ~ As the bacteria rot the plant material down the compost heap generates it's own heat Pruning ~ Prune friut trees and bushes ~ Any branches with sunken scars or tiny red bumps probably have canker and should be removed ~ Disinfect tools after removing deseased wood Flowers for Christmas ~ Cut branches of early flowering shrubs such as forsythia and witch hazel in early December ~ Leave them in a cool, light room and with luck they should be in flower for Christmas
January
Lawns ~ Keep off the gass if it is frozen or soaking wet Roses ~ Now is a good time to prune your roses whilst we are in the dormant season. Avoid pruning in the frost as this could damage the bud ~ Cut dead branches back to the base of the rose ~ Shorten long branches by half (personally I look at 3rd bud to outfacing) Pruning ~ Prune friut trees and bushes Timber structures ~ Inspect fences, pergolas, and other garden structures for damage and untreated areas. Wood that is in contact with the ground e.g. fence posts, gravel boards. are most likely to rot ~ Make repairs while the plants have died back and structures are more easily accessible
