ROMFORD SMALLHOLDERS SOCIETY

• Short days makes finding the time to get to the plot difficult. Its a month for relaxing and planning for next year.

​

• Put well rotted manure on rhubarb crowns to give them an extra boost

​​

• If the soil is neither frozen nor flooded then digging can continue. Soil can be limed wherever brassicas are planned.

​​

• Keep an eye on plants being overwintered in a greenhouse. 

​​

• Onion seed can be sown in trays and kept on a cool window ledge for planting out in early spring.​

​​

• Get ahead with winter jobs such as clearing out shed or greenhouse. Tidy up the plot, but leave some messy areas with piles of twigs for wildlife.
