January Gardening Tips:

Plant Vegetables from transplants like broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries, col- lards, and lettuce.

Plant Seeds for lettuce, radish, and carrots. Begin seeding spring tomatoes inside.

Plant Rosebushes in prepared soil where they receive 6-8 full hours of sun every day. Prune rosebushes in February.

Plant Fruiting Plants such as blueberries and black berries; it is a good time to get them established.

Focus on cool season color such as pansies and violas, snapdragons, and dianthus. Get green Foxgloves, hollyhocks, larkspur, poppies, and delphiniums in your beds now for a gorgeous Spring show.

Plant Spring flowering trees and shrubs such as redbuds, fringe trees, Mexi- can plums, azaleas and spirea. Now is a great time to plant.

Freezes- Keep an eye on the weather and stay informed on night time
lows. Have frost cloth on hand for light frosts. Water plants thoroughly before a freeze to protect roots. If the temperature drops below 32 double wrap tender plants to ensure proper insulation. Avoid using plastic against foliage, but it can be used as the second exterior layer when covering plants. Remove plastic during the day. 

TIP: Heavy duty clothespins or spare bricks can be used to secure and weigh down cloths.
