Gardening Chores & Tips for January

Seeds 
Send for mail-order flower and vegetable seed packets now.  This is especially important if you plan to start seeds indoors for transplanting after the last frost (March 15).  Be daring and try something new or exotic. 


Pruning  
Great month to prune landscape trees and any deciduous and evergreen plants that don't flower in spring.  Pruning fruit trees now will ensure a quality crop. 

Turf Grass  
A dry winter day is a good time to mow a dormant lawn.  Grooming allows you to inspect your lawn for winter weeds.

Houseplants  
Keep houseplants in a cool, light-filled location and water only when soil is dry.  Use warm water to water your houseplants.  Increase humidity for your houseplants by placing them on top of a tray filled with pebbles and water.
