WINTER

"To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold". Aristotle

Winter gardening can be enjoyable especially on a sunny day.  These are some chores:

• It's the best time to plant trees, shrubs and ornamentals as long as the ground is well prepared and you choose the right plants for your climate zone. 
• Plant winter hardy perennials, vegetable and bulbs ready for spring.
  
• With the garden looking bare, you can get a good idea of what needs doing for spring and summer.  
• Some perennials can be divided
• Remove plants that don't bring you joy
• Plant winter vegetable seedlings suited to cold climates
• Prune deciduous trees and fruit trees. Check that trees are safe - no limbs that could fall and cause damage
