25 Dec Welcoming 2024: January Gardening Tips for a Thriving Phoenix Landscape
Start the New Year with a Flourishing Garden
As we bid adieu to December and step into January 2024, it’s the perfect time to rejuvenate and prepare our gardens for the year ahead. Here at The Green Goddess Nursery, we’re excited to share some essential tips and plant recommendations to kickstart your gardening journey in the New Year.
Essential January Gardening Tasks in Phoenix
- Pruning and Maintenance: Early January is ideal for pruning deciduous trees and shrubs, as well as roses. This will stimulate new growth when the warmer weather arrives.
- Planting Bare-Root Trees: It’s the perfect time to plant bare-root fruit trees and roses, which can establish themselves during the cooler months.
- Starting Your Veggie Garden: Cool-season vegetables like kale, spinach, and peas can still be planted in January for a bountiful spring harvest.
Protecting Your Garden from Frost
- Stay Frost Alert: In Phoenix, January nights can still bring frost. Be prepared to cover sensitive plants to protect them from sudden temperature drops.
- Mulching: Applying a layer of mulch helps protect roots from frost and retains moisture in the soil.
