Priscilla’s Garden To-Do List for January into February

Take inventory of seed packets on hand and place orders for new varieties
Clean, sharpen and repair garden tools
Order replacement tools if needed
Stock up on Safe Paw ice melt: non-corrosive, chloride-free, and safe for plants, animals, and humans
Force some bulbs on water: hyacinth or paperwhites
Water house plants only every 4-5 days and withhold fertilizer, as it’s winter rest season
Check house plants for pests; if found, spray with a strong blast of water or a weak solution of Safer’s insecticidal soap, or prune infested parts back hard
Curl up with a good gardening book (see above)
Check out the view from your windows: do you need winter interest anywhere in particular?
Attend a garden lecture (see above)
