Think there’s no gardening to do in winter? Think again. Browse our guides for jobs during the cold months, including how to keep your compost heap productive, what to prune and cut back and what to leave for hibernating insects and hungry birds. There’s also advice on practical jobs such as cleaning your greenhouse. Getting ahead now will stand you in good stead for the coming growing season, especially if you grow your own fruit and vegetables – every job you do now is one less to do in spring.
