January is the perfect time to start planing for your summer garden at Chesters Grove Garden Centre. For gardeners in County Durham it’s also a great time to start stocking up on containers, canes and string. There are many essential jobs which can be carried during January and February that will benefit your garden when summers comes around.
Remove any lingering summer annuals that won’t make it through our colder northern months, should be one of the jobs on your list. Any herbaceous border plants will also need your attention with some cutting back. It’s also worth remembering many beetles and ladybirds will use the stems as a winter hideaways, so leave some of the stems intact!
Garden birds will also thank you for leaving a few seed heads in the borders.
and if you’re like me, you’ll have all of your bird feeders well stocked up. While the ground’s hard, gardens in County Durham will have tree and house sparrows, tits, robins and starlings all searching for food. Chesters Grove have a huge selection available, many of which are specially prepared on the premises. Happy gardening.
