I know it’s winter in most places, but as Valentine’s Day approaches, we wanted to offer some garden love. Whether you are harvesting delicious produce from your winter garden, or planning spring on paper, here’s some inspiration to get you through.
Monarchs are everywhere this time of year. They make a home at Gardenerd HQ.
Potatoes are going gangbusters in this Vego Garden planter. Get your own here (our affiliate link helps support Gardenerd, and gives you a discount on your order).We love growing shelling peas as a cover crop over winter. Find out more about cover crops here. Celeriac grows along the edge of a raised bed. We will harvest and freeze cubes in another month or so. Ladybug larvae love aphids, and they’re feasting on them on this artichoke plant. Our first strawberry of the season always arrives in winter. These new plants are protected under deer fencing.Loquats are a sub-tropical fruit that doesn’t transport well, so growing them is essential if you love their sweet, tangy flavor. They are ripening to golden yellow.After a good winter pruning, the blackberries are starting to leaf out for the season. There is still time to cut back your blackberries if you haven’t done it yet. Even in winter, volunteer tomatoes start to flower. We love volunteers!A recent heatwave forces these green onions to bolt to seed. Speaking of which…
Sign up for our Kickstarter to help support Bolting to Seed before it launches in March. You’ll love this cozy mystery set in a community garden!
We hope you enjoy a little garden love this Valentine’s Day. Spring is almost here, and we’re here to help you get ready.
