Soft Herbs<br />
Though defined as soft herbs, these herbs do not<br />
mean they need extra TLC. All are hardy to cold<br />
temperatures.<br />
Chives: This month is a great time to lift and<br />
divide existing clumps of chives. Simply ease<br />
the clumps out of the ground, then either tease<br />
sections apart or, using a sharp knife slice them<br />
into new pieces.<br />
Coriander, parsley and chervil: Seeds can be<br />
sown inside now where it is warmer. Once the<br />
seedlings are up and each plant has a few leaves<br />
on, harden them off outside before planting them<br />
out in the garden or pots. Note: Coriander does<br />
not enjoy having its roots messed around with, so<br />
you might have a better success rate sowing these<br />
seeds directly where you want the plants to grow.<br />
Top tip: Bird protection<br />
Over winter, food and water becomes scarce for<br />
birds. To prevent them from munching on young<br />
plants and seedlings, leave out alternative food<br />
and water sources for your feathered friends.<br />
Also, consider covering crops with netting<br />
to prevent them from being able to land on<br />
your garden.<br />
