Seasonal Tips
WINTER
"To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold". Aristotle
Winter gardening can be enjoyable especially on a sunny day. These are some chores:
- It's the best time to plant trees, shrubs and ornamentals as long as the ground is well prepared and you choose the right plants for your climate zone.
- Plant winter hardy perennials, vegetable and bulbs ready for spring.
- With the garden looking bare, you can get a good idea of what needs doing for spring and summer.
- Some perennials can be divided
- Remove plants that don't bring you joy
- Plant winter vegetable seedlings suited to cold climates
- Prune deciduous trees and fruit trees. Check that trees are safe - no limbs that could fall and cause damage
