When winter arrives and the temperatures drop…
We have to keep in mind not to neglect our garden even if we don’t spend so much time in it because the cold weather invites us to stay indoors. During this time of the year it is very important to carry out some maintenance tasks, as well as others of pending, because when spring arrives our plants and trees look in perfect condition. But, also because during the winter we don’t have to give up and we can enjoy the same as we do during the other seasons of the year.
Trees in winter
If you want to plant a deciduous fruit tree now is the time. Winter is the best season to plant this type of tree as long as the temperatures are not below freezing (in this case it should be avoided). If you already have deciduous trees in your garden, the ideal is to have watered them well during the autumn so that they stay moist during the winter. This is also the time to prune them, as at this time of year there is less risk of fungal infections and it will be less harmful to them, so make the most of it. It is also very important to keep the garden clean. Leaves and branches that have fallen naturally or as a result of pruning should be collected and the trees should be kept in a well-kept space.
Plants in winter
During the coldest months of the year, plants are dormant and this means that they need less nutrients and do not need to be watered or fertilized often. As for the more delicate plants, they should be protected from frost damage by covering them with a tarpaulin or plastic sheet. There are also some plants that live perfectly well through the winter. Take the opportunity to plant them and give colour to your garden during this time of year. As for the soil, you should turn it over and add organic fertilizer so that when spring arrives it will be in perfect condition.
Lawns in winter
We must not forget the care of the lawn in winter, even if it seems to us that during this period it does not grow and does not need to be maintained. On the contrary, it is necessary to take into account some basic treatments during the winter to keep it green and alive.
