Yes, even in January. I am doing something relating to my garden every month of the year. This month has the shortest list and maybe the most fun activities:
Some other things to consider doing this month:
- Rake heavy snow off shrubs to prevent damage. Here is a good article that covers this: https://chatham.ces.ncsu.edu/2015/02/helping-trees-and-shrubs-recover-from-snow-and-ice/.
- Use a high quality ice melter on ground surfaces, as salt can damage concrete and plants, especially needled evergreens.
- To help you give your garden year round interest, visit local gardens and observe the winter habits of trees, shrubs and perennials, noting your favorites for future planting projects. Every year I resolve to do this, but never do!
Is your new year off to a great start?
