Flowers garden job checklist - week 8

18 - 24 February 2013

It's time to...

Sow sweet peas in deep pots and pinch out shoot tips once two pairs of leaves have developed
Cut back old stems of mallow (Lavatera) to ground level, taking care not to harm new shoots
Plant hedging plants
Prune down stems of dogwoods, willows, cotinus and paulownia
Fork and rake over the soil in border areas where you want to sow hardy annual flowers
