For me the gardening season always seems to start in January... the holidays are over and it is time to think SPRING. With that in mind I would also like to return my focus to the garden and projects I would like to work on at this time of year...
Let the fun begin:
There is very little I can do at this time of year as far as planting and digging in the garden. Put I have plenty of other things I can putter with... cleaning and organizing are the biggies this month.
CLEAN THE EAST SIDE OF THE YARD:
*Chip branches, yes I finally bought a chipper, yeah!!
*Pile and toss garbage and debris
SOUTHEAST CORNER:
*Prep for planting vines this spring
*Move window boxes, move rocks... fill with soil (now or later).
GARAGE:
*Clean and organize garden tool area.
WEST SIDE OF YARD:
*Remove garden shed.
*Remove old shed floor/blocks
SITTING AREA:
*Prep area for future wall.
KEEP FEEDING THE BIRDS!!!
Weather permitting I will work on these tasks during January... some may carry over to other months... this is not a list to slave over but a guide, I will not get discouraged if I straggle on some. Love what I do and how I do it.
Resources for my gardening tasks are:
"Gardening in the Rocky Mountains" by John Cretti (with consultation advice from my supervisor,Dee, at Tagawas).
