Gardening with Mark and Ben

THINGS TO DO IN YOUR GARDEN

For January, we are happy to report, you can take the month off. For the most part. 

Consider the following:

- Reduce watering of most indoor plants. 9 out of 10 problems with indoor plants are the result of over watering. Take a vacation from watering, use the extra time to listen to our biweekly podcast.

- Order seeds for your veggie and flower garden. Fresh seeds are on the retail seed racks now and last year many seeds sold out early.  We expect a similar experience this season! Order a copy of the Veseys catalog to start your shopping from home. www.veseys.com

- Join online horticultural club meetings. Gardeners are social creatures and so are you (probably)... especially in winter! Bring your questions and an inquisitive mind: many answers are to be found here!

- Read, listen, organize your garden photos from last summer and put up your gardening antennae: winter is when we learn and deepen our horticultural knowledge, not to mention create a plan for our 2021 garden!

Relax, light the fire, enjoy a wonderful, quiet time to reflect.
