Yes, it's time to plan in advance for your next gardening season. Winter has arrived! A few more days after we enjoy that wonderful Christmas Holiday with our family and friends, we are looking forward to see what the new year of 2010 has in store for us.
After all the great time we had with our loved ones, we'll be ready to get in
the routine, the everyday life.
If you enjoy gardening like I do, the best time to plan for the next gardening
season is now, in the winter time. Get some great gardening books, get inspired and see what new methods you want to apply for the new season.
What a thrill it is to pour over a seed catalog in the month of January and find some new seeds you have not tried before. It is so much fun to be self sustained, to eat fresh fruits and vegetables that you have grown with your own hands. Isn't that wonderful!
Think about all those nice juicy tomatoes, beautiful bell peppers, cucumbers, reddish, lettuce, green beans, peas, squash, watermelons, cantaloupes, strawberries, blueberries, etc.
And you know what you are eating! You don't spray them with all those dangerous chemicals that are bad for your health!
It's time to get ready and spread that compost you hopefully piled up for the next
season, and spread it in the garden before you start tilling it in the ground.
Can't wait to get my hands dirty! How about you? It depends on what part of the Country you live.
If you live in the South, there are still some sunny days now and then, and not that cold to be able to venture outside, and pull some stubborn weeds, that seems to keep coming back, after you pulled them out several times already.
You want to have your selected seeds ready, kept in the refrigerator or a cool dry place, and you might want to start them early indoors, so you'll have them ready for a great start!
If you are thinking of pruning the ornamental trees, fruit trees as well as some shrubs, the best time to prune is the month of February, while they are still dormant, and before the sap is starting to push up as the warm weather comes in.
In the colder regions they will start to sprout later, but they still needs to be pruned.
After a few days I'll post some new articles about some specific plants, how to plant them and how to take care of them, so that you can get full satisfaction of enjoying to baby your plants.
Don't you miss the tranquillity of working in your garden, listening to the chirping of the little birdies, and the buzz of the bees, bumblebees, and the playful butterflies? I do.
It's so much fun to grow and baby plants! And you know what? They never talk back.
