ahh sorry to ask a dumb question but my books are in storage ready for our
move and I just looked out on the sad garden and thought I should do some
spring tasks so it looks as best as it can when we try and sell, well less
messey anyhow.

When is it counted as spring so I can prune back things that take a spring
pruning? I am presuming if I do it too early a last min frost could kill the
buds/plant. It seemed cold this morning (SE London) so I did part of the
budleia so it felt like I had done something but was that wrong?


I've done a lot of mine over the last week or two, but we're a bit
warmer than you. At a guess you're getting light frosts at night ATM
so it might be worth leaving for a few days, though little harm would
be done for most of the hardier plants if you went ahead now.
