"January
The coldest month
In January, your garden could need protecting from frosts, gale-force winds and heavy rain. Check stakes, ties, fleeces and other supports for damage and consider moving plants to sunnier positions to maximize light. Don't forget to keep feeding the birds, food is scarce for them over winter. You can also start planning next year's vegetable plot."
So this is what I intend to do, once we move in. I will see what the best feed for the birds is and see if there's anything home made we can do.
I also plan on photographing and listing all plants that we have on the farm's veg plot. For example, I know we have rhubarb and raspberries in one of the veggie beds, along with asparagus in another. I will create a plan showing what is what and that can help me prioritise what needs doing.
The small orchard that comes with the property has a few different fruit trees in it. Again, I will map out what's what as I need to think about pruning and preparing for 2016 growing season.
