Gardener's lunar calendar for January 2025: what to do on snowy days.
January marks the beginning of the preparatory period for gardeners for the new season. Despite the cold weather, there are a number of important things that can be done both on the plot of land and in the greenhouse or garden. If a generous layer of snow has fallen, spread it evenly around trees and shrubs. This will protect the roots from freezing and conserve moisture.
Remove any dry plant debris that was not removed in the fall to prevent pests from breeding. In frost-free weather, you can cut back diseased or damaged branches, shrubs and inspect tree trunks for damage. Some work can be done in the greenhouse. Purchase quality seeds and seedling materials in advance. Make a garden plan, determine what crops and varieties you will grow in the new season.
Check, repair or buy new tools for land work. Also in January you can grow some crops in greenhouses, on the windowsill or in specially equipped rooms. This will allow you to get an early harvest of greens and seedlings. In the winter, leafy greens, spicy herbs, leafy salads, onions and microgreens will sprout well. For seedlings you can plant peppers and eggplants, they have a long period of development, so January is the best time to sow.
If you have a greenhouse, sow tomato seeds for seedlings. Сельдерей имеет долгий период вегетации, поэтому его также сеют в январе. Лунный календарь поможет спланировать ваши дни на земельном участке и теплице.
