February Plants hints

February is a crucial month for UK gardeners as it marks the beginning of the gardening season.  Here are some essential hints and tips to help you get started:

  • Sow broad beans if the ground is not frozen
  • Rough dig any ground ready for the season ahead
  • Fork through borders as this will bring slugs towards the surface so the birds can clean them up for you
  • Sow tomatoes in a heated propagator
  • Clean the greenhouse and sterilise pots
  • The birds will soon be nesting so finish cutting hedges and bushes
  • As new growth starts prune old growth from perennials
  • Enjoy the beauty of spring flowering bulbs and identify areas to plant more in the Autumn
