I have just started today - for the first time this year - to cut back the borders. I like to leave the old growth on over winter as a bit of extra protection, but it was such a nice day today that I felt compelled to start. However its still pretty frosty at night.

The other job I did yesterday, was to empty my summerhouse of all the plants I am overwintering in there. The main reason was to water them, but I also cut them back and tidied them up an. I then put them all back, as they still need the protection. Its a good idea to leave dormant plants on the dry side over winter, as they don't need the water and some can rot if they are too wet. But its easy to forget thet they need the water now as they are starting back into growth, otherwise they could die from lack of water.

 

I am going to start some serious garden centre shopping methinks.
