The winter months are definitely upon us, and if you are like me and live in the Midwest, then you are also in the wake quite a cold front. What is one gardener to do in this weather? It may seem hopeless, but you still have options!
Shrubbery and pine trees – These can add some color to your yard, and provide protection for any other winter plants you decide to plant (granted you look at your hardiness zone for winter planting). Look into a nice evergreen and a few shrubs.
Plan for spring – Take a look at your yard and do some planning for spring. What have you done right and wrong last spring? What can be improved?
Catalogs – Browse through catalogs to plan your plants out early. You can also research what plants you can grow in the winter.
Indoor planting – Some nice house plants should keep you occupied until the warmer season arrives.
We shouldn’t let the winter months drag us down. Explore your opportunities and see what positive results you can come up with.
