Winter bean prep? ❄️ Digging trenches in January is a game-changer.
It lets organic matter break down early, creating a nutrient-rich "moisture reservoir" for thirsty roots. Plus, the frost-thaw cycle naturally aerates your soil!
Prep now, feast later.🌱 #GardeningTips #GrowYourOwn #JanuaryGardening

Newly transplanted tomato seedlings buried deep up the stem of the plant

The ultimate tomato pro-tip? Once the soil is 15°C+ (60°F), bury them deep! 🌱
Pinch off the lower leaves and bury up to 2/3 of the stem. Those fuzzy hairs on the stalk will turn into a massive root system, making your plant way more drought-resistant and sturdy. 🍅

Planks laid out to create new raised vegetable beds in foreground whilst beds in background covered in cardboard or sheets

Avoid soil compaction this Jan: Stay off the beds! Walking on wet soil destroys its structure for the whole season. Use the "quiet" time for hard landscaping instead—fix paths or build those raised beds you mapped on VegPlotter. Your soil will thank you in the spring! 🌱 #GrowYourOwn #PlotPlan

Don’t let January snow bury your hard work! ❄️
* Mulch deep: Insulate roots with straw or bark.
* Cover up: Use burlap or frost cloths to trap heat.
* Hydrate: Water plants before a freeze; moist soil holds heat better.
* Brush off: Gently remove heavy snow from branches.
Stay cozy! 🌱🧤

Beautiful long lettuce leaves green at the base with vibrant red at the tips

Want a constant supply of lettuce? 🥗 Skip the hearts and grow loose-leaf varieties like ‘Salad Bowl’ or ‘Lollo Rossa’ (UK) / ‘Red Sails’ (US).
Sow in spring, thin to 30cm, and pick outer leaves regularly so the center keeps growing. 🥬 Store extras in a poly bag in the fridge! #GardeningTips

Vibrant spinach seedlings

Keep your spinach cool! 🥬
Avoid sowing in dry, exposed soil to stop bolting. Instead, plant in the shade of runner/pole beans or corn. Look for heat-tolerant varieties like 'Bloomsdale Long Standing' or the 'Space' F1 hybrid to keep your harvest going all season long! #VegetableGarden #GYO

Rows of tulips red pink and yellow with a blue sky trees in the background and a few white clouds.

Across the Northern Hemisphere, January is the "last call" for Daffodil & Tulip bulbs! 🌷 If your ground isn't frozen, get them in now. If it is, use deep pots in a cool place. Plant in "bouquets"—clusters of 7+. Early blooms are a lifeline for pollinators waking up in early spring! 🐝 #SpringBulbs

Want a bigger, earlier harvest? 🥔 It’s time to start chitting!
To time it perfectly, work backwards 6 weeks from your spring planting date. Place seed potatoes in a cool, bright spot with the "eyes" facing up to grow strong 1-2cm sprouts. This head start ensures a better crop!

Watch out for Onion Bulb Fly! 🧅 Bronze hoverflies lay eggs near onion necks; larvae then rot bulbs from within.
✅ Use fine mesh netting to block flies.
✅ Firm soil to close egg-laying gaps.
✅ Drench soil with beneficial nematodes or Neem oil to kill larvae.
✅ Destroy soft bulbs; never compost! 🚫
