January Gardening Tips

Fruits:  Plant Fruit Trees.  Time to mulch figs to prevent freeze damage.  Prune to groom and shape.  Do not remove too much.

Roses: Do not prune in January all annual pruning should be done in  the middle of February, just before the spring buds break.  To prevent later appearance of disease in the old beds, keep garden clean of debris and weeds.  Complete preparation of new beds for roses.

Lawns:  Remove thatch aerate and feed with low nitrogen mixture.

Winter Protection:  Expect freeze any time, protect tender plants. Water. Always remove coverings, when temperature rises above freezing to keep from damaging them.

Happy Gardening!
