February Tasks

Start to cut down and mulch herbaceous borders when the soil is not sticky. Epimediums and hellebores can have their old leaves removed so that the early flowers can be seen.

Keep off the lawns when frosty.

Order seed potatoes and start chitting them in a cool dry corner.
(This means getting them to start sprouting, to give them a head start when they are planted).

Check greenhouse heaters and fleece in the garden regularly. The wind can easily dislodge loose fleece.

Start pruning late flowering shrubs.
