Is there anything sadder than a garden in January? Thankfully, here in the South, our growing season is year-round.
It’s time for peas and carrots, cabbage and kale. I really should have had them in the garden in the fall, but since I didn’t, it’s kinda a “now-or-never” deal. Once the temps hit the 80s in March, I find the broccoli and kale start to bolt.
I’ve always used my google calendar to remember when to plant (and when to look for tiny sprouts) and when to harvest. I’ve printed out my January Garden Tasks to share with you:
Please remember these things: I’m not a professional, I’ve compiled several different tables to come up with what works for me, I live along the I-20 corridor in Louisiana, and you need to use common sense when planting in your area. Our last frost date is somewhere between March 4 and 10. If yours is later, you have a few more weeks!
Happy Gardening!
