There are numerous tasks that need to be performed in preparation for the spring season:

Inside
  • Clean the greenhouse and discard any rubbish from last year
  • Make sure seed trays and plug trays are clean and ready for use
  • Select your seeds for early planting
  • Check for mice (who love eating seeds)
  • Chit your potato tubers
  • If you have it, check your greenhouse heating is in order
Outside
  • Cover any fruit trees or vegetable crops outside with fleece to protect from frost damage
  • Use netting to keep birds off
  • Prune any evergreen and generally tidy-up garden
