I and with any plant when pruning [ it make sure to give a feed to help give the plant energy to ' grow lots of new shoots.
How do I stake a new tree? In a windy location it is often a good idea to stake any newly planted trees. It is always best if you put the stake into the ground at an angle so it doesn't go through the trees core root system. Point the stake into the direction that the wind comes from and tiy and get it so it crosses the tmnk of the tree approximately one-third of the way up the trunk. Then using an adjustable tie, fix the tree to the stake making sure to use a rubber spacer. Check the tree every year and adjust the tie accordingly.
slugs and snails
THERE are two approaches to beating this common nuisance; the most common way is trying to eradicate them, but have you ever thought about choosing plants that they don't like to eat? It's a real annoyance when they
come out at night when nobody is around and chew great big holes into the leaves of your prize plant, or nibble at the new fruits on your strawberries. Slugs and snails are like any animal - they like to eat - but there are many plants out there that they will stay well away from, so let's have a look at some. The trick is choosing plants with
either a fury, ferny, spilty or a textured leaf, they stmggle to slide
across these surfaces and move onto something else. Some plants may not have foliage that ticks any of the above boxes, and it may just come down to the fact that the slugs don't like the taste of it. A few slug resistant plants include
For their size, these, little pests can leave a mighty traii of destruction in their slimy wake
Astilbes - a summer flowering perennial with red, pink or white flowers which will grow in moist soil sun or shade. Crocosmias - one of our speciality perennials, they flower for a long period throughout summer and come in a range of hot colours. Grasses - simple enough but the slugs don't touch them. Grasses are great for getting a different texture in the flower bed and they look great in windy locations. Hardy Geraniums - a classic
Jobs to do
1- Slug pellets Now is the time to apply your
slug pellets, but remember to stick to the recommended rate of use. Or you could tty an alternative approach.... see main article above
2 - Sow seeds indoors It is a very cost effective way of
growing lots of plants for next to nothing, but just keep them protected from the frost and remember to pnck out and pot
them on in a few weeks once established.
3 - Cover rhubarb Use an old bucket to cover new
rhubarb shoots. This will help to force them on and make them npe for cutting in just a few weeks' time.
4 - Prune Lavateras Now is the time to remove
old stems of Lavateras (Mallow) down to where you can see new
perennial that they probably don't like the taste of, they give you colour in late spring into summer, and . remember to clip back after flowering for fresh new growth. Helleboms - starting to show signs of life now Helleboms provide the backbone to early colour in the garden, trim off the old leaves when flowers emerge. Roses - slugs won't touch these either, but make sure to be giving your roses a prune now and also a top dressing with some well rotted
manure or give them some specialist fertiliser. The list is quite extensive when you start to look at slug resistant plants, so the solution isn't always about getting out there with
the slug pellets. Be a bit clever about it and plant plants that they don't enjoy munching on! Now if you are after protecting plants in your garden that the slugs absolutely love you can look at using slug pellets, just be careful when using them that you follow the correct dosage amounts. A handful of the blue pellets should be scattered across an area of approximately 10 square metres and no less. ,
Look at sprinkling pellets in places
where prize plants don't grow like behind the shed and in the brambles at the bottom of'the garden as these are the most likely places that they
will be living, and catching them now before they lay the next round of eggs will massively reduce your problem.

green shoots. This helps to keep a bushy healthy plant with lots of flower.
5 - Plant Hedging Make the most of the time of
year and plant new hedges using bare-root plants. This way will work out a good deal cheaper and you will get a lot for your money. Water in well once planted and tip the top shoots to encourage strong bushy growth low down on the plant.
