When the snow lies heavy in the garden, it is easy to think that cultivation must wait, but fortunately there is much you can do already now if you have the itch to start growing.
SOW CATALOGUE - JANUARY
In our best cultivation tips for January you will find more about pre-cultivating, growing vegetables indoors and winter sowing outdoors and in greenhouses.
January is the perfect month to pre-cultivate or sow plants that have a long development time and need an early start. Just remember that the plants need extra light in the form of plant lighting, since the light from the window is too sparse at this time of year.
Plants that can be sown in January
Chili
Bell pepper
Artichokes
Verbena
Geranium
In January, there are also good opportunities to stratify seeds, which means giving the seeds that require a cold period to germinate the treatment they need. Just place the newly sown seeds outside for a couple of weeks before bringing them back in. If they don't germinate on the first try, there is plenty of time to try again.
