Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year Here are your Gardening Tips for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year 1. Pruning. Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer 2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues Please give me a call on : 07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel Remember to feed your garden birds with fat balls & seeds as this year due to the rain there are less insects. Remember to place in a safe place to prevent the cats eating the birds

Hello Wisteria does need pruning twice a year & this is the first month it needs doing. The whips need pruning back to the third bud from the main stem & probably a few main stems need pruning. It needs feeding to prune . I have been a gardener for 23 years & can do this for you Give me a call or message me here Nigel 07759862191or WhatsApp me 07961888253

Hi Vladi cut back your Jasmine very hard, or it could pull your trellis down . Give it a feed & water in Spring & it will come back Hi Angelina No, as long as it’s finished fruiting it’s perfectly ok & yes I would recommend painting the cuts , it will stop disease getting in
