January jobs:
 Missed out on the bulb season? Do not despair you can always get them "in the green".. not as cheap but still worth it
Check grease bands are still sticky and in place around fruit trees
Make sure your compost is working for you - advice on composting from one of our previous newsletter: Jungle rot - The composting issue
You can still prune rose bushes now whilst they are dormant. Cut back to just above a bud and remove any crossing or dead branches.
Plan next year’s garden now. Try to have something in flower year-round
Start ordering and planting seeds and start them of indoors

And of course don't forget to feed the wildlife in your garden..
A few facts about Robins..
Juvenile robins have a brown rather than red breast; they grow the red feathers after their first moult.
Robins are omnivorous, eating everything from fruit to spiders. Given a choice of any food, most robins like mealworms best of all.
Both male and female robins hold their own territories in the winter, so both sexes sing the same winter song.
Each robin has a unique breast pattern, and can (with difficulty) be recognised individually.
British robins will not enter standard nest boxes with round entrance holes, but they do like open-fronted boxes.
The first British postmen wore red coats, and gained the nickname of robin or redbreast.
