Gardening in the winter?
Emphatically, yes! Far from being the least desirable voice in the seasonal quartet, winter supports the garden's growing cycle.
Learning how the chilly season works can help us understand what tasks are appropriate during winter months.
"Winter is the most important time to pay attention to your garden," says longtime Pacific Northwest gardener Sojourner Smith. "First of all, it's important to remember that weeds grow all year here."
So listen up, gardeners: It's time to don your yellow rain slickers and get out into the garden to weed and mulch. When spring comes around, you'll be glad you did.
Weed control and mulch
Teresa Millner, daughter of organic gardener and Planter Box owner Ray Millner, agreed. "Weeds keep growing even in cool weather and if we hold at 45 degrees for five days or so, you'll even get a good crop of germination. With the soil fluffy, winter is a great time for weeding. It's a perfect time for pulling those blackberry vines."
