January: Arranging and Getting Ready


Winters in Europe may be severe, and snow and frost are widespread in many places. Because of this, January is a great month to make plans for the coming year.

Important Takeaways:

  1. Seed Selection: Many Northern European gardeners advise placing early seed orders to ensure uncommon or heritage types.
  2.  Tool maintenance includes repairing damaged tools, oiling wooden handles, and sharpening pruners. Soil Enrichment: In southern areas where the ground rarely freezes, gardeners recommend adding compost to the soil before spring planting. 
  3.  Plant Protection: To shield delicate perennials from freezing temperatures, use fleece wraps or straw mulch.
