How To Help Your Winter Pots Last Until Spring

How To Help Your Winter Pots Last Until Spring. Very soon Spring will be here, but until then it’s a good idea to rejuvenate your winter-interest planters and pots. Just spending 5 or 10 minutes getting rid of dead leaves and tidying them up will extend their life for a few more weeks until we can start replacing them with Spring displays. Little and often gets lots of jobs done and makes us feel more organised, so get outside as often as you can, weather permitting of course.

Hi everyone, it's Jeanette again from The Enthusiastic Gardener and I'm at the front
of my house today and the reason I'm at the front is because I wanted to show you my garden
pots which are looking absolutely gorgeous, they have been planted since probably end
of October now and they are looking stunning.
These are my pots, they've been potted up for winter interest, so they've been in maybe
October onwards, they're basically ornamental cabbages and then I've got some heathers just
slotted in between, they're dyed heathers, a little bit of colour, I have two of them
as you can see, and then I do pop the heathers out into the landscape when they've finished,
so I'm going to just tidy up these leaves and we'll do that quickly now, then these
pots will be beautiful again for another little while longer, so let me just go ahead
and just tidy it all up and it will look better and it will take minutes.
So there you go, nice and tidy, I think something had been attacking some snail slugs, something
like that, all the leaves were bitten and chewed, here's the other one, so I got these
pots from a Boots Owl, which is where I get most of my pots from and all my interesting
garden bits and pieces from Boots Owls, find them, paint them different colours, all different
things like that, they are actually really tall, if I stand back you can see, they're
probably three feet tall, the whole thing's not covered with soil, I've filled it up halfway,
has got polystyrene underneath it, so then the soil is just to the top, obviously don't
need all the soil, if it's not needed, those roots are never going to need to be that deep.
This is Richard, he's my handyman around the house, my husband, I give her all the advice
she needs, and it cuts the grass, anyway that is just a really really quick whistle
stop walk around tonight, see you soon, I'm the Enthusiastic Gardener.
