Batten down the hatches—wild weather could be on its way!
WRITTEN BY
JOHN FOLEY
think what is still to come! We have been inundated
W
with winds and rain earlier on and now, after a few sharp frosts, its beginning to feel a bit more like Winter. But let’s have a look at what plants you need to protect and what will thrive in these wintry condi tions. The Hamamelis (Witch
Hazels) really do stand out at this time of year. With their bare stems covered in col-
■ ourful clusters of red, orange . or yellow flowers bearing a sweet scent of oranges, they help addlife to the Winter gar den. The frosts won’t do these the slightest bit of harm, even if the weather goes as cold as the past few years. Plant in a sunny place to al
Spotlight
ith all the wild weather that we have had so far it makes you
low the sun to ripen the new
growth,leadingtolotsofflow- ers through January. Other winter flowering plants that benefit from a snap of cold are the Sarcococca (Winter Box). The cold weather makes the flowers last longer due to the lack of rain and also the re duced temperature; it’s like putting them in a fridge. The sweet scent is then carried once again through the air once warmed up slightly by the sun’s rays. Plant in sun or part-shade and they are only dwarf, getting to a height of three feet tall. There are some plants in
the garden that‘will need a bit of protection in hard frosts. They include any evergreens or bulbous plants in contain ers, and also any plants in the garden that aren’t fully hardy, for example Ceanothus or Cor- dalines etc. Plants in contain ers suffer when their roots get frozen solid - we are talk ing about the frosts that go on day after day here, below -10, and when this happens make sure to wrap the shoots and the pot in some bubble wrap
Q & A
HEREYOUCAN SEND IN AND FIND , OUTTHE ANSWERS TO ANY GARDENING PROBLEMS
How do I get rid of Bamboo? Well unless you have a pet Panda the solution is going to be a bit more drastic! Bamboo can be come invasive depending on the varietyyou have. The root system is as strong as the shoots and al most impossible to dig out Chop it all down and spray the new shoots — once the leaves open up using Roundup. Mix the herbicide with a dash or Fairy Liquid to help it stick
. totheleavesandyouwiilgradually kill it off!
What can I put on my compost heap?
or horticultural fleece. : When the frost thaws, re
move the fleece and put it back on once it freezes again. Plas- ■■
tic is no good as it is not an in sulator and it’s holding the air around the plant that prevents it from freezing so hard.
We.must remember that
Jobs to do.... 1 - Plant roses
. It's a great time to plant bare
root roses in well-prepared ground. Make sure to mix in well rotted manure in new and exist ing beds as they thrive on fresh bacteria, i
even though January is nearly behind us, February is a vola tile month and the weather can go one o f two ways, so keeping an eye on what the frosts have in store can help! Don’t miss out on making the most of the frost and get those empty flower beds dug over as
these frosts willhelp break the soil down. At the same time as
diggingyour flower beds over, remember to sprinkle a bit of salt or grit around the garden to stop your flagged paths be coming slippy with ice and it will also help give you traction in wet weather.
Grass clippings and old leaves, also stems arid old growth from herba ceous plants, are great, along with several items from the kitchen including old banana skins, egg shells or potato peelings as these „ are a great source of food for your compost heap, helping it break down. Turn it after several weeks to help it rot down and then, after about 12 months, you will be left with some nice friable compost ready for the garden.

around the bottom of your trees and bushes. Grass is unlikely to grow here with it being dry, so
giving a mulch will make them ■ look smart and tidy.
4 - Trim back ivy Take back any long shoots and
if on a house remove shoots near the windows and towards the roof as it will start to creep into places where it is not welcome.
5 - Tidy garden With the weather being bad
again this Autumn, get out there nowin a dry frosty spell and put awaythose bamboo canes that : may be lying around and move the old sacks in front of the green house, helping to get it all tidied up ready for Spring.
What do I mulch my gardenwith? The best thing to use is either bark (pictured) or wood chip that has been stacked for some time.
Nowadays there are several other things you could use; gravel can be effective on a rockery area,
recycled car lyres are also shred ded up and used on urban planting

schemes, and overseas in America they even use rock from volcanoes which has been crushed up and then spread it on the flower beds. Basically a good mulch can be anything clean that helps cover the soil!
