Garden tips

I gave you quite alot to do last time so i'll go easy this week. Having said that it still needs doing, so if it rained you need to get on!
Things you should be looking into for this week.

Cut down willows and dogwoods to their base to promote strong new canes.
Finish taking hardwood cuttings from shrubs, trees and roses.
Plant bare-root roses, hedging, trees and shrubs.
Pick off hellebore leaves with black blotches as this is a symptom of leaf spot disease.
Prune wall climbers away from window frames and gutters.
Lift and divide congested snowdrops when in leaf.
Prepare plant supports ready to pop into position to support tall or floppy perennials, such as delphiniums.
Prune roses and buddleia during mild weather but complete by the end of February.
Get out there and enjoy!
Bryan.
