Frosty Weather Best For Growing In January

Thank goodness the recent dull warmer days seem to be behind us. They have played havoc with the fuchsias, creating leggy growth. This is not too good if the object is to produce compact short-jointed plants. Frosty weather, caused by clear skies, definitely produces the best light for growing in January. And the cold should kill off a few slugs which have hatched out in the milder weather.

The sun is producing more heat now and can be readily felt behind glass. The growing season will soon be in full swing.
