Gardener's Calendar - What You Can Do in the Garden Every Month

January

With the winter solstice of December 21, the days become longer, and this does not go unnoticed by plants, which will try to penetrate, grow and exploit the maximum amount of light.

Take advantage of January to order potato seeds and prepare the ground for asparagus. At the same time, if you want to enjoy an excellent onion furrow, choose to plant it in January.

As for flower and fruit furrows, in January you can plant the fruit trees you've always wanted and start cleaning up the remaining weeds around the healthy plants.

January is the perfect month to take care of the greenhouse. Clean the glass inside and out, then insulate the entire greenhouse using foil. Don't forget to check the plants weekly to make sure they don't rot or are destroyed by pests.

February

February is already too cold to plant outside. Summarize any agricultural activity in indoor pots and greenhouses! Now is the time to procure the seeds and plant them in the greenhouse, in the heat, so that you can enjoy them in the spring.

Cabbage, carrots, lettuce, and radishes are ideal for planting in February, to welcome spring with healthy and fresh vegetables!

If you are planning to plant raspberries and a few plums, now are the time! Because it can be quite cold, make sure you leave the seeds at a depth of at least 6 inches below the ground. Take advantage of February to plant roses.

You can plant them outdoors, but you can avoid failure by bringing them to the greenhouse. Provide them with quality fertilizer!

March

In March it is recommended to plant tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers, as well as increase care for them. Any drastic drop in temperature can destroy them!

The fruit trees you planted in the frosty months are now in full bloom. Provide them with fertilizer and pay close attention to them.

Clean up any pests around them and think about planting strawberries! Keep an eye on them, and if the temperature drops unexpectedly, be prepared to cover them immediately with a thick blanket!

Sweet roses are the most successful to grow when planted in March. You can also order a brochure to help you with more instructions on how to care for them!

April

April is a misleading month. If the plants now enjoy the sun, they can be frozen or destroyed in the next hour by heavy rain. April is also the ideal month to plant fruit trees and prepare furrows for strawberries.

You can plant the roses without forgetting to take special care of them and provide them with enough light and warmth.

May

Various seedlings can be planted in May. The most common activities a gardener can do in May include:

June

The general maintenance of the garden takes up most of the time in June. It is now mandatory to water the furrows in the morning and evening, as well as plant peas and early potatoes. In hot weather, the most important thing you can do in the garden is to keep the plants well-watered.

The soil is now ideal for growing Brussels sprouts, cabbage, celery, zucchini, cucumbers, beets, carrots, and lettuce.

July

July is the month when you can enjoy what you have accomplished in the past months. Now the plants are starting to bloom. Your only task is to water the garden in the morning or the evening, never in the middle of the day!

Optionally, you can plant beans, beets, spring cabbage, carrots, cauliflower for years to come, chicory, and coriander.

August

The withered tails of the shrubs should be removed this month, and the beginning of August is ideal for sowing beets and spinach.

Long-lasting vegetables, such as cabbage, peppers, celery, tomatoes, and cucumbers, should be fertilized once more, at the latest at the end of the month.

If you are going on holiday, make sure that you have watered and cared for the plants well so that you do not have any unpleasant surprises when you return. Think of a system to get them in your absence.

September

Harvesting is the main task you have in your vegetable and fruit garden this month. Hurry up and finish harvesting vegetables like onions and potatoes.

At the same time, if you want to have fresh greenery for soups in winter, you can plant dill, parsley, and larch in large indoor pots. The weather is still good for planting garlic outside, and of course, don't forget to find a way to protect your strawberries and raspberries before the weather changes.

October

October is for harvest. Apples, pears, walnuts, tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash are harvested, and after the middle of the month, the quince harvest begins. October is also the perfect time to plant cherries, sour cherries, peaches, apricots, pears, apples, and plums.

Flower pots should be taken indoors, as temperatures are no longer optimal for outdoor plant development. Don't forget to wrap the roses with special foil and leave enough fertilizer at the root.

Also in October, firs, and thuja are planted, so take advantage and beautify your garden, so that next summer you can enjoy more fresh air and more shade.

November

Don't give up on gardening just because it's cold. Plants still need attention. It cleans trees, shrubs, and plants that are still green, removes dry leaves and parasitic plants; they attract pests that will damage your crop.

December

There is always something to do in the garden. Even in winter. You can take care of the roses by cleaning the shoots and giving them support to grow harmoniously. Do not clean dry! In winter, they are a protective shield for plants, helping them withstand frost, and protect buds.

Now that you know how to have the garden you've been dreaming of, all you have to do is arm yourself with patience and go shopping and then get to work. Spor!
