Here are a few thing you can do in the garden while waiting for spring to arrive….
- Check yard for damaged plants
- Check newly planted and newly staked trees to see if they are still stable
- Sharpen gardening tools
- Organize & clean greenhouse and/or garden shed
- Recycle pots you are not going to use in the spring (see AGC’s article on where to recycle pots in the Rogue Valley)
- Clean bird feeders and continue feeding wild birds
- Check stored fruits and vegetables
- Spray stone-fruit trees with copper or lime-sulfur
- Check yard and garden for drainage issues
- Check house, yard (and autos) for rodent activity
- Read gardening books
- Shop seed catalogs, and order your seeds for spring, summer, fall and winter planting
