New battery needed probably.
Just give her a service and you should be fine.
Just check rear calipers havent seized. Known weak point on hondas.

if its gone through the winter on the car without starting you may have killed it

Mine stood still for 3 months (with weekly startups) when I started it to start driving again, it stopped firing. It turned out to be the coilpack had packed in.
