Make your New Year's resolution to have a blooming garden and jam-packed vegetable patch come spring. It might be chilly outside but don your winter warmers and get pruning your climbers.

Here's your to-do list for the garden in January:

Dig out a shrub

Plan the vegetable garden

Prune climbers

Bag garden bargains

Force rhubarb

Country Life

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by HRH The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
