I am not thinking of a Spruce conifer but an early smarten up and tidy of your garden. Here are some instant and relatively easy wins.

1.  Initially focus on areas you can see from your windows and main viewing points. Then tidy, trim and weed even if it is still wintery.
2. Turf out any old pots, hanging baskets or unsightly remnants that will never look as good again.
3. Give borders a 10 minute make over to remove the worst looking offenders.
4. Brush paths and tidy hard landscapes.
5. If time and weather permits cut your lawns on a high setting for the first time this year
6. Renovate and fill any bird feeders.
7. Paint or clean garden furniture

Other quick improvements to your gardening enjoyment include:

1. Treat yourself and garden to some seasonal gap filling plants such as bulbs or primulas.
2. Plan or start a new project to give a bit of style to an area in your garden.
3. Put some peat around ericaceous plants like rhododendrons and camellias and reapply bark chippings to improve appearances.
4. Start your spring shopping with seeds or seedlings if you can protect them from frost.
