January is often thought as the coldest month of the year. As a consequence, it brings with it the frosty mornings, making its presence known throughout your garden. Generally a quieter time of year as your garden hasn’t seen much growth over the last few months plus not much is expected in the coming months either. Use this time to plan for the arrival of spring and get those tools out of the shed, give them a good clean along with a good sharpen. Order in your seeds, clean the windows in the greenhouse and finally, think about what vegetables you might want to begin growing this year!
