What to Do in Your Garden Every Month

Check out our January gardens guide for what you should be getting up to
February
"Most of Britain is still submerged in winter weather in February, but the things you can do and sow are multiplying!"

March
"You were in the garden over the weekend, picked up a pot and there it was; a baby slug. Your nemesis, the one thing you dislike with all your might. You turn around, however, and smile. The daffodils, tulips and hyacinths are coming through, the promise of a splash of colour so early in the season. If you haven’t been doing so already, you will probably start digging over your beds"

April
"How did April come round so fast? It was only yesterday that we were trying our very best not to get seed-sowing happy. And now it’s seed explosion and everything is starting to grow very quickly."

May
"May is when Mother Nature properly wakes up and gets her act together. All of a sudden, seedlings double in size, weeds triple in size and you find yourself frantically weeding, potting on, and watering"

June
"June is equally as busy as May with fending off weeds, watering and pest control. If you have a container garden, be watchful! Keep an eye on your plants in dry, hot weather."

July
"The lazy hazy crazy days of summer have been rolled out, and we suddenly wonder how those bronzed people living in the Med can work in the heat; that is why the siesta was invented, my friend"

August
"You spent spring sowing all your seeds, and the summer months have helped your plants grow, thrive and, in some cases, produce fruit. You will be in full swing of harvesting fruit and veg, but certainly looking towards September and the start of cooler days and fresh nights"

September
"The barmy, sometimes stuff, days of summer are coming to an end. We’ve had more rain in August than we care to admit but, let’s face it, it did cut down on our watering time!"

October
"Days are becoming chilly and evenings are too dark for after-work gardening. We are spending more and more time indoors, enjoying hot drinks and laughing at our dogs running through piles of leaves"
Check out what you should be getting up to this October
November
"Leaves are treating us to a flurry of autumn colour and we are becoming increasingly windswept. Rainy days are spent inside wrapped in blankets and enjoying Hygge at its finest."

December
"By now, we have had a couple of frosts; especially up north. December is all about ensuring plants do not suffer from extreme cold weather, tidying up and pruning the last dormant plants"
