At Henley’s, we love to share our own garden journey. Here are Jo’s Winter Tips from our garden to yours:
Feed your soil: Before planting anything new, nourish your garden beds. I recommend certified organic compost, worm castings, and rock dust to boost soil health.
Plant winter crops: This season, I’ve gone with onion, beetroot, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower — all cold-loving veggies that thrive in winter’s embrace.
Stay pest-aware: Keep an eye out for cabbage moth caterpillars and aphids. Use netting to protect plants, handpick caterpillars, and treat aphids early with a natural spray like eco neem.
Winter is your chance to get ahead. Invest in your garden space now and set yourself up for a season of homegrown beauty and bounty.
With Henley’s Rustics, you’re not just building a garden — you’re creating something timeless.
