Hello! Dear ones, we know that you're just like us, meaning you enjoy getting active in January, tending to your garden. Well, you're right. It's a good idea to delve deeper into it now and check off some tasks, as there won't be time for them later.
Especially for you, we've prepared a comprehensive video about what you can already do in your garden this January. Surprisingly, there's quite a lot!
🪚 Pruning fruit trees and bushes - January is THE TIME for pruning bushes and fruit trees. We prune to ensure tasty fruits and a healthy plant! We have time for pruning until mid-March, and the ideal temperature is from -5 to 0 degrees Celsius. Check out our guide on pruning fruit trees and bushes: "Pruning Fruit Trees and Bushes from A to Z." In the video above, we show clips on how to prune aronia, currants, blueberries, and demonstrate pruning newly planted fruit trees.
🖌️ Whitewashing fruit trees - This protects the trees from bark cracks caused by unpredictable early spring weather. Type "whitewashing" in the search bar of the app to see how to carry out this whitewashing.
🌸 January is also the time for cutting colchicums - cut the shoots at ground level or going towards the ground.
✂️ You can also trim plants that bent under the weight of snow, like trimming a bent yew - here's an example: "How to trim a yew bent by snow."
🪷 During winter pruning, you can check how the buds on your fruit plants are doing. Can we expect fruits?
🐕🦺 While pruning fruit trees, you can shape a new crown with the help of whips. Type "whips" in the search bar, and our videos on how to deal with whips on fruit trees will appear.
So, let's get to work and strive for beautiful fruits this season :)
Good luck!
