Spring is on the way!

Spring cleaning!

Hopefully, February will have some nice dry and sunny days. Make the very most of these to air and ventilate greenhouses and sheds by opening windows and doors. This is a good time for a spot of spring cleaning as well, clearing out any old sacking, seed trays which are past their best and any seeds kept from previous years. Although some may be all right if kept in good conditions, any that have been allowed to get damp should be discarded as unlikely to germinate. Also, when ventilating the shed, if time permits, go through old chemicals (if used) and fertilizers. Opened boxes and bags are best discarded and replaced. Wash out pots and also clean any tools which were put away dirty last year.
