Gardening in Winter
Weeding You can get ahead of the weeds of spring by pulling up weeds visible in the garden beds now. It’s good to keep in mind that many weeds have longer growing seasons than the plants cultivated in the garden on purpose. Even if weeds aren't particularly large or unsightly, they are enjoying a free lunch in your garden bed and eating up nutrients that could otherwise be feeding your vegetables, herbs or flowers. Use a garden fork or a trowel to loosen the weed. Cleaning up and pruning Why not enjoy the fine weather with a walk around the yard or garden while you gather up fallen branches and twigs. Good tools and a good guide will help with this task. One important caution should be observed when mucking around in the garden in winter or early spring. You want to take care not to work the soil when weeding. Keep in mind, however, that weeds are thieves.
