Gardener’s
By Valerie Fielder,
Diary Wing Gardening Club
Happy New Year!
The garden doesn’t recognise a new year as such (it just runs on its
regular cycle) but January, when most plants are dormant, is a good
time to take stock and plan for the year ahead. I often ask myself
‘What grew well last year? Shall we try it again or do something new?’.
The long evenings give good opportunities to study catalogues and
magazines, and the nurseries are less busy if you want a conversation
with the growers. If you have a vegetable plot, you may have already
sourced some manure and started to prepare the ground for spring. I’ve
planted some garlic this year and near the end of January will sow the
first broad beans in pots.
Then there’s that list of jobs. Firstly, the plants that need winter pruning,
apples, pears, roses, honeysuckle, currants, and the flowering shrubs that I
didn’t get round to when I should have. Once the grapevine in the
greenhouse has been pruned, I can sweep out the leaves and clean the
staging. When we have a warm, sunny day I’ll wash the glass. There may
be a trellis or pergola that needs repair, and the rain may have found a
hole in the shed roof which will need a patch. Then I can sort out the
stack of pots, canes, and baskets that I stowed hurriedly in the autumn. The end of the month is the time to take a day off and visit a winter
garden, my favourite is Anglesey Abbey near Cambridge, full of scented
We drain our water butts in winter to stop them freezing and cracking, shrubs and foliage cleverly grouped to cheer a winter’s day.
and now is a good time to wash them out and install new ones if needed.
You can’t have too many water butts, and I urge you to get one if you
haven’t already done so.
Our garden is mostly trees and shrubs with a few perennials such as
sedums, hellebores, and iris, and I prefer to leave most of the old
vegetation until the spring, to give birds and small mammals some
shelter, so I won’t be doing a lot of tidying in what passes for beds in our
garden. We live on the edge of the village next to pasture, so we see
plenty of wildlife, which has its disadvantages: the muntjac will eat
almost anything, and the badgers cause a lot of damage digging and will
destroy an entire crop of sweetcorn in one night. But there are
recompenses. The sight of a nest of grass snakes as you uncover the
compost heap, the pheasant and partridge that come for the sunflower
seeds and the wrens who shelter in the shed are just a few.
Getting back to the plants, by the end of the month the first aconites and
snowdrops will appear, as they start earlier than they used to, and the
witch hazel will be uncurling its delicate scented fronds. Daffodils sprout
earlier too, so take care that you don’t tread on them by mistake!

The
Wing Singers
Wow! Thank you to our loyal supporters that attended
our Christmas Concerts, you made fantastic audiences!
Also, thank you to our wonderful volunteers who
helped set up, served refreshments, helped tidy up ….
the list goes on, and you all know who you are! It’s
safe to say that without you, and your support, the
concerts wouldn’t be able to go ahead as they do!
As the year came to an end it was good to reflect on the
journey of The Wing Singers, which was formed some
seven years ago. Suddenly, we realised that we are no
longer a fledgling choir, we are instead a well-
established choir! Our numbers have grown from a

handful of Wing residents to considerably more, with members coming from many towns and villages in Beds, Bucks
and Cambs!
Last year we welcomed some new members, two of whom were the young girls who sang solos during the concerts. It’s good to see them joining in
and playing active parts in the choir community. We look forward to seeing them flourish under the direction of Jill Neenan, our MD.
Despite the recognition of the choir being ‘well-established’, we will always welcome anyone who would like to join us, or even just try us out for an
evening. We accept anyone of any ability or age. You don’t even need to be able to read music!
We wish you all a prosperous new year and, not only look forward to welcoming you to our forthcoming performances throughout 2023 but also to a
special concert being held by the Dung Beetles at 7pm at the Wing Village Hall on Saturday 28th January, who want to help raise funds for us! We
gratefully accept the support of this fantastic band. Please come and join us, it’s going to be a fantastic evening! Tickets are available at £12.50 for
over 16s only.
If you would like more information on the choir please see our website http://www.thewingsingers.org.uk/ or email Liz at wingsingers@yahoo.co.uk22 What’s On In Wing January 2023
