January Gardening To-Dos
In the Garden
- Remove vigorous winter weeds.
- Prune trees and shrubs, removing diseased and storm damaged wood.
- Start envisioning your ideal garden and developing plans.
Fruits & Veggies
- Puget Sound area gardeners can eat produce fresh from the garden nearly year-round.
- Draw your food garden master plan, rotating crop locations from last year. (Crops planted in succession will keep harvests coming.)
The Lawn
- Sharpen mower blades and tune-up your mower.
- Avoid walking on soggy or frozen grass and compressing the soil. Grass roots need oxygen as much as water to stay healthy.
Around the House
- Pack away holiday decor.
- Refresh and rejuvenate empty spaces with vibrant indoor plants.
- Lightly water indoor plants. Remember, plants contribute to essential oxygen exchange and reduce stress.
- As winter air is drier, pay special attention to indoor plant foliage; occasionally mist with water.
- Keep plants away from heating ducts.
- Make a terrarium with the kids and enjoy it through the darker winter months.
- Feed wild birds.
- Choosing a selection results in a full page refresh.
- Opens in a new window.
