What to do now - January

  • Finish all pruning of fruit trees this month.

  • Winter digging should be finished this month.

  • At the end of the month you can start sowing some onions, broad beans and early carrots. 

  • For an early crop of rhubarb you can start forcing by covering with a large pot or bucket. Heap fresh manure around to provide warmth.

  • Plan your crop rotations and which vegetables you will be growing this season 

  • If the weather is mild buds will start to swell on gooseberries so protect them from the birds
