Late winter: the garden starts to stir
Bare branches, swelling buds and the first hellebores. This is the quiet fortnight where everything you do now shows up in November.
- Finish the winter rose prune before the buds break
- Feed citrus and mulch around the drip line
- Lift and divide crowded perennials while they're dormant
- Sow sweet peas and broad beans
- Sharpen and oil your tools before the rush
