December and January Gardening Checklist

Winter is here to stay and for some it is a welcome break to working outdoors. Some may want to just stay indoors next to a warm fire and sip some cocoa! But don't stay indoors too long because there is still a lot of things you should be doing out in the garden and orchard during the winter. In the orchard, continue cleaning up dropped fruit, applying dormant oils or fungicides and prune your apples, pears, peaches or nectarines. Around your garden make sure you tuck in your perennial veggies (asparagus, artichokes, rhubarb…) with a thick layer of mulch and have some Agribon rowcover or Frostblankets on hand to protect your plants from frost damage. Watch our video or read our article for all of the things to do in your garden during December.
