Start Planning Now for a Thriving Spring Garden
Family Features
While winter weather puts outdoor
gardening on pause in
most parts of the country, the
colder months offer a perfect opportunity
to begin preparing for a lush garden
come springtime.
With a little creativity, and some extra
time spent creating a plan, you can set
yourself on a path toward success before
the growing season even begins.
Assess Your Space
and Research Ideas
Evaluate your current garden, taking
note of what worked well last season
and where improvements can be
made. Use this downtime to sketch an
updated layout, research companion
plants and decide which fruits, vegetables
or flowers you want to grow next
based on what did (or didn't) work last
spring.
Build an Updated Blueprint
Winter is the ideal time to upgrade
your garden design and make tweaks
for efficiency. Use the offseason to consider
crop rotation patterns for optimal
soil health as well as ways to maximize
your space such as raised beds, trellises
or containers. You can also make a
list of materials needed for any new
features you may be adding, such as
an irrigation system, and map out their
placement so you're ready to build as
soon as the weather allows.
Nourish the Soil
Even if the ground is frozen, you can
prepare your garden beds by adding
compost, leaves or organic matter in
late winter, ensuring nutrients are available
when spring arrives. Also remember
to test your soil's pH level now,
which can help guide your fertilization
plan.
Start Seeds Indoors
If you're eager to get your hands dirty,
consider starting your seeds indoors.
Early seed starting gives plants a head
start, allowing you to transplant stronger
seedlings outdoors when temperatures
warm.
Get Organized
Use the slower pace of winter to clean
and sharpen your garden tools, sort
through leftover seeds and make a supply
checklist so you're ready to dig in
when warmer days arrive.
