February gardening jobs
- Cut off the diseased lower leaves of tomato plants to stop it spreading.
- Resist the urge to cut away sunburnt leaves just yet. Shrivelled foliage acts as a shield against further sun damage for the healthy growth beneath and is best removed when conditions cool a little.
- Keep up the water for shallow-rooted plants like camellias and citrus to stop them drying out.
- Ready repeat-flowering roses for an autumn comeback with a light trim and a little fertiliser.
