FEBRUARY

Crevant, the cross of the bridge of la  Valette

February brings the rain, thaws the frozen lake again !
When the North wind blows forget February...it will arrive in May !

Things to do in the garden

  • Maintain plant protections against the cold.
  • Sow seeds for exotic plants (peppers, etc;) and keep in the house at a temperature of 20° minimum. Re-pot your house plants.
  • In the orchard prune the apple and pear trees to the 3rd bud. Prune the shrubs and small fruit bushes like the raspberries.
  • Finish the winter treatments on the seed pip fruit trees. One month after pruning use a Bordeaux mixture as an anti-cloque and aphid treatment on the stone fruit trees.
  • In the vegetable garden prepare the cold frames and plan the future crops bearing in mind crop rotation.
  • Prepare soil mixtures for flower containers.
  • Destroy any moss in the lawn.
  • Hard prune new hedges, finish tree pruning.

Tip of the month :

Spiders and chestnuts : To repel spiders place some chestnut leaves under your furniture !
