January Gardening Tips
It’s time to:
- Divide perennials like daylilies and chrysanthemums. Prune crepe myrtles, cane berries, and roses, and clean-up trimmings.
- Feed annuals with a complete fertilizer once a month or fish emulsion every two weeks.
- Continue to plant tulips, narcissus, daffodil, and hyacinths for a longer show of blooms in the spring.
- Late this month nurseries begin selling bare-root artichokes, asparagus, berries, grapes, kiwifruit, horseradish, and rhubarb. Buy and plant early in the month while roots are still fresh. If the soil is too wet to plant, temporarily cover the roots with moistened mulch to keep them from drying out.
