In this week’s issue of our ezine Get Growing, we’ve got pruning tips for shrubs, vines and climbers, and it’s time to protect new bulb shoots, trench trees and shrubs before moving them, give the lawn some winter TLC, use weeds to improve your soil and pickle and preserve your stored harvests.

Make your own Modernist crate chair inspired by iconic Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Reitveld in 1934. Plus go in the draw for Yates Sow Anytime Lawn Seed and ‘Café au Lait’ dahlias from Bulbs Direct.
