1. January in the Garden – Is It a New Year?
It’s only January, but it feels like the year is half over already. With Los Angeles fires burning, the changes in the country’s administration, and all the other news this month, we’ve seen a lot in a short time. But still we garden. I’m determined to make 2025 a good year, for myself and those around me. I hope you’ll join me in planting something this year to make the world a better place.
Here at Gardenerd HQ, we finally got rain! Unfortunately it was enough to cause mudslides in the burn areas. For those dealing with ash in the garden, see below for the helpful article we posted last week. On the bright side, we’re harvesting snow peas, lettuces, mustard greens, dill, green onions, arugula, radishes, kale, Swiss chard, spinach, and cilantro. We’re also finishing up winter pruning on fruit trees. It’s time to start planning your spring garden on paper, and we’ve got just the thing to get you started (see below).
In this newsletter, you’ll find our latest video – a guide to growing sugar snap and snow peas. Plus, open registration for our garden planning online course, and more.
Happy gardening,
Christy
