February in the garden

February is here, and while it may be cold outside, it’s still a great time to enjoy your garden. We know that many people are intimidated by the thought of gardening, but it’s actually quite simple and rewarding. Here are 5 fun and easy gardening ideas for February:

1. Start seeds indoors: If you want to get a head start on the growing season, now is the perfect time to start seeds indoors. You can choose from a variety of options such as tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. All you need is a sunny windowsill, some seed compost and a few containers.

2. Plan your garden layout: With the shorter days and colder weather, February is a great time to plan your garden layout. Take some time to visualize what you want your garden to look like, and then plan where you want to plant each type of plant. You can even make a sketch of your garden to help you remember your plan.

3. Prune shrubs and trees: Pruning is an important part of maintaining a healthy garden. If you have shrubs or trees that need pruning, now is a great time to do it. Pruning will help encourage new growth and keep your plants looking neat and tidy.

4. Clean up your garden: Winter can leave your garden looking a little messy, so now is a good time to clean it up. Remove any dead leaves and branches, and tidy up any borders or paths. This will help make your garden look fresh and ready for spring.
