Care for your evergreens: remove any frost damaged shoots damaged by earlier cold weather.
Check protective coverings on newly planted trees, shrubs and climbers, to ensure they remain secure from frost.

This is the last chance to sow seeds that need frost in order to germinate, such as native tree and shrub seeds.
Houseplants should not be left on windowsills behind the curtains on frosty nights.
Seeds of berrying trees and shrubs can still be sown: but be quick as they need a period of frost.
Newly planted trees and shrubs should be firmed back if they have been lifted by frost heave or strong winds.
Walking on lawns should be avoided on frosty mornings: It can damage the grass and lead to brown footprint-shaped marks.
