Fall Yard Clean Up Services
You know that it is important to prepare your lawn for winter, but you lack the time or the energy to spend hours doing lawn maintenance chores. The Gardener can ensure that your landscape is well protected throughout unpredictable winters, and save you the trouble of yard work.
Why is a fall yard clean up important?
Putting in some work in the autumn will bring a big payoff in the spring. Turf health is absolutely critical to maintaining an attractive property, and if you neglect your fall chores this year, your grass will suffer, and show signs of neglect when the snow melts and the weather start to warm up. Do you want your grass to green up early in the spring? Then ensure that raking to remove leaves and thatch is done thoroughly prior to winter
End the Year with a Final Comprehensive Service
The Gardener’s autumn cleaning service takes care of all of the details for you. Removing leaves and debris from your property, raking, pruning your shrubs and hedges, winterizing your garden, and completing your final grass mowing are all included. All of these activities will protect your landscape from the cold weather, and lead to improved health in the spring. Contact us and get a free estimate for fall yard clean up today, and see why our customers have sworn by our services.

Beautiful gardens begin with a thorough spring clean-up!
http://www.mrhoneydo.uk/about.html

Spring is for new beginnings, and the best way to do that for your garden is to provide an extensive clean-up. Though the weather in the spring can be somewhat unpredictable, the clean-up that your garden needs for a bountiful growing season is not. If you feel overwhelmed by the tasks, you can always call Mr. Honey-Do to give you and your garden a hand.

Here is our basic checklist for tidying up your garden areas:
1) Remove protective framing or burlap from your garden trees and shrubs as things start to warm up. Prune away any branches that show signs of winter kill to nurture new growth.
2) Cut back your overwintered ornamental grasses and spent perennials, generally down to 2-3 inches from the ground. If the soil has thawed enough, dig up and divide any over-crowded areas of your garden and transplant into sparser areas.
3) Take care of your beds and borders! Rake out leaves to prevent mold, disease, and smothering of plants. Once the threat of frost has passed, old mulch should be removed so that a slow release fertilizer can be added and fresh compost and/or mulch can be applied.
4) Edge your garden borders to discourage grass encroachment and help prevent mower accidents from occurring. Good edging provides your garden with a smooth, finished appearance.
5) Set up a maintenance schedule to help you maintain the plant and soil health of your garden for the rest of the season. Additives like compost or organic fertilizer can keep your soil in nutrient-rich health for good perennial production. Keeping up with maintenance over the course of the season will ensure that your blooms keep blooming, weeds don’t smother out your perennials, and expiring perennials get cut back at the appropriate time.
6) Over the winter, moss and algae build up can make any surface look dirty and in the need of attention and if left unmaintained, can become slippery and potentially dangerous. At Mr. Honey-Do we can offer our pressure cleaning services to homes & businesses to clean many types of surfaces including block paving, imprinted concrete, paving slabs, natural stone, tarmac, crazy paving, and decking.
This list is a good starting point for most garden needs but every garden is different. Mr. Honey-Do can make recommendations of care of your garden(s) and the health and beauty of your property. Sometimes this can be the best route to take as then you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy….

When to Start Spring Cleaning in Your Garden

There's no point in pretending you're not going to be out in your garden the first warm second of spring. While there is no harm in cleaning up fallen branches and debris, wait until the soil is no longer wet enough to form a ball in your hand, before walking on it and compacting it. But don't wait too long to start your clean up. It's much easier to cut plants back before the old growth gets tangled up in the new growth.

The first task is removing and composting any dead annual plants that remained over winter. These will not return and any self-seeders will already have done their job.

If you didn't prune back your perennials last fall, they're probably looking pretty ugly as spring sets in. Many perennials actually prefer to be left standing throughout the winter, for extra protection. But by definition, herbaceous perennials will die back to the ground during winter. If you did leave your perennials standing last fall, once you start to see new growth at the base of the plants, it's safe to begin removing winter mulch and pruning them down to ground level. more...http://www.mrhoneydo.uk/spring-cleaning-.html

Mr.Honey-Do is seeking staff to work on a part-time basis in Wakefield. Still have the itch to work? For many seniors and semi- retired tradesmen, part-time work provides a certain sense of purpose and belonging. Mr. Honey Do recognizes that not everyone can afford to volunteer his or her time without compensation. Our assignments provide a social connection, the ability to help others and a “boost” to your income. Today, it is not uncommon for seniors to continue working into their late 60s and even early 70s. The founder of Mr. Honey Do is a senior himself and realises that older adults and seniors are a major demographic group in the workplace. Mr. Honey Do is always on the lookout for talented and enthusiastic individuals who enjoy helping others.
If you or your senior loved one is seeking some form of participation in the workforce, take a moment to think about what you want. Now that you’re retired, you can afford to make these years exactly how you envision them to be. Consider your interests, skill set, hobbies and time commitments and ask yourself how perfect it would be to only accept the type of work that interests you and to be able to fit it into your own schedule. We are looking for talented, personable seniors that excel at their favorite hobby or household skill. We believe our senior assistants can have positive lifestyle implications for both themselves and our clients in the community that we work in.

What to do in your garden in February
February already, wonder what the weather will bring this month!! It can prove a busy time of the year for gardeners and all of a sudden there are a thousand and one things that can be done now, such as early sowings of flower and vegetable varieties being started so as to give them a head start. It can also be a good time to start preparations for sowing new lawns, as well as getting the machinery serviced and ready for the coming season if you haven’t done so already.

General Garden Information
• In areas where the weather is milder, perennial plants that had been in clumps could be divided and the outer, young, healthy parts replanted into freshly prepared soil. It may even be an ideal time to dig up and reposition any shrubs or perennials that have become overcrowded. Now that plants have died, before new shoots appear apply a fairly thick mulch, 5-7.5cm (2-3″), could be spread around perennial plants, trees, shrubs and even fruit, but be careful not to cover any dwarf bulbs that may be in flower.
• It may prove very beneficial for a large, clear sheet of polythene, held in place by either bricks or lengths of wood, to be placed over the soil keeping off any heavy rain, ensuring the soil remains dry. As time permits, the sheeting could be folded back, the soil dug over and the sheet replaced – this is particularly helpful when soils are heavy clay. If you are short of time, another solution may be to cover the soil with compost or manure, and then as spring approaches lightly fork in to the surface which will prepare the soil for planting. Where early sowings are going to be made, it is a good idea to warm the soil up by a few degrees, therefore, approximately two weeks prior to sowing cover the soil by using a single layer of polythene or fleece. By doing this it will quickly encourage germination and establishment.
• Do keep a look out for pests such as whitefly, and any plants or cuttings that are seen to be infested should be sprayed.
• A good way to provide extra winter protection for plants is to use a cold frame which should be situated in full light thereby receiving warmth from the sun but sheltered from cold winds. Ventilation should be provided on warm days so it is a good idea for them to be opened up which will prevent a build-up of warmth, however, remember to close them at night. To provide extra warmth an old rug, blanket or even overcoat could be used on nights when conditions are very cold.
• Pots and seed trays which have been left should be thoroughly cleaned, using a little household disinfectant and rinsing with clear, warm water, so that they can be put away for use in the spring. A brush might come in handy to remove any stubborn dirt and old compost that might be harbouring pests or diseases in the pots and seed trays.
• It is still a good idea to keep gutters on greenhouses clear of leaves and debris, and to allow maximum light in keep the glass washed

Vegetables
• Early varieties of potatoes should be chitted (laid out in trays and allowed to form short sprouts) in a cool, light, frost-free place ready for planting towards the end of March – this is proven to increase the yield of the tubers. In the greenhouse or under cover in a warm propagator, you can now begin to sow seeds of cabbage (summer/autumn maturing), celery, parsley, sweet and cayenne pepper, tomato, leek and onion.
• Outdoors (under cloches or in a cold frame) you can sow early varieties of carrot, such as Amsterdam Forcing, broad bean, such as The Sutton, and parsnip. Shallots can also be planted out from the middle of the month.
• Remember asparagus crowns can be ordered now even though delivery may not be until late March/early April but it is a good time to start preparing the site where they are to grow, ensuring the ground has been dug thoroughly making sure it is free from weeds.

Lawns
• As milder weather conditions arrive, weeds will start to grow on areas of ground already prepared in preparation for sowing a new lawn – they should be brought under control before sowing begins in April.
• On existing lawns, brush off any unsightly wormcasts with a stiff broom, besom or rake. If you haven’t already done so, now is a good time to get your lawn mower serviced

Garden Maintenance: FEBRUARY In Wakefield

Top jobs for February

1. Prune shrubs that have finished flowering and finish pruning deciduous trees.
2. Prune hardy evergreen hedges and renovate deciduous hedges
3. Cut back deciduous grasses left uncut over the winter.
4. Put a top dressing around plants after pruning, planting etc such as bark or gravel around alpines. This helps to improve the soil, suppress weeds, insulate roots and retain moisture during the summer.
5. Apply a general fertilizer to all plants. Apply the fertilizer where the roots are - roughly a similar area to the spread of the branches.
6. Regularly check stored fruit and veg removing any rotting or moldy specimens.
7. Regularly deadhead plants and sweep up fallen debris, to prevent disease spreading.
8. Prune climbers.

Trees, shrubs, and climbers

- Its okay to move established hedges, shrubs, trees and climbers and plant new specimens.
- Continue to plant roses but remember not to plant them where roses have previously been planted to avoid replant disease.
- This is your last chance to take hardwood cuttings of ornamental shrubs such as Salix, Forsythia, Ribes, Elaeagnus, Rosa, Weigela, Cornus, Chaenomeles and Escallonia.
- Summer-flowering deciduous shrubs can be pruned between February and March to keep them tidy such as Buddleja davidii, Hydrangea paniculata,Ceratostigma, Lavatera, Leycesteria, hardy fuchsias, Perovskia and deciduous Ceanothus. Some of these can be cut back very hard (stooled).
- Delay pruning spring-flowering shrubs until immediately after flowering or you might lose this years display.
- Prune out shoots on hardy evergreens that should be two colours but are growing with only one colour; otherwise the whole plant could revert to one colour.
- Cut back Ornamental vines, ivy, Virginia creeper and Boston ivy now.
- Prune Wisteria by cutting back the sideshoots by two or three buds. Avoid cutting off flower buds.
- Prune Campsis stems by cutting back lateral branches to within two or three buds of the main branch.
- Late summer and autumn flowering Clematis can be cut back to the lowest pair of strong buds.
- Winter-flowering heathers can be trimmed as the flowers fade, keeping them bushy and colourful.
- Don't forget it's last chance month for pruning apples and pears. Next month the sap will start moving. It's also time to cut autumn fruiting raspberries and blackcurrants down to the ground to stimulate the new canes.

Flowers

- Cut back ornamental grasses and any other perennials that were left for some winter interest.
- Divide clumps of herbaceous perennials that have either become too large, that you want to propagate, are flowering poorly or have lost their shape.
- Plant Lily bulbs in pots for flowers in the summer.
- Deadhead winter pansies and other winter bedding to prolong the display.
- Top up pots and tubs with fresh compost.
- Check that stored Dahlia and Canna tubers are not too dry or wet.

Top Tip: Check whether pots and other containers need watering - even at this time of year, they can dry out.
