February begins to awaken the garden from winter sleep. It depends on the current weather, which determines the order of work in the garden. If the sun and warm February welcome us outside the windows, we can clean up the remains of autumn and winter from the garden. We can clean and engrave the flower beds, liming the soil and shaping the fruit trees and shrubs by educational cut.
Ornamental garden
We grow seedlings of flowers
In February, the first colorful flowers are beginning to appear in the flower beds, which can drive gray out of the garden. It is not yet possible to plant and plant anything on the flower bed, but annuals and biennials for window boxes and flower beds must now be pre-cultivated at home. In addition, we can consider soil analysis, especially if we are about to start a new garden in the spring. Let's take a look at it.
Fruit garden
We start with the cut of fruit trees
February means mainly fruit trees and shrubs in the fruit garden. The cut of trees is one of the most challenging and expert work in the entire garden throughout the year. If there is no strong frost, we start with the cut of the fruit trees as follows: shorten the main shoots and additions of the main and side branches. One year after planting, at the end of winter we carry out a so-called educational cut of fruit trees, where all the competitive shoots, densely growing shoots, and shoots that sprout on the upper sides of branches are removed. Before pouring peach buds, we spray the curly. If we did not make a winter cut of the vine, February is the best time. In warmer areas, we start with a gooseberry, currant and raspberry cut in February. Weather permitting, we cut the vines at the end of February and beginning of March.
Kitchen garden
It's time to sow vegetables
In February we start sowing vegetables. It is possible to pre-grow early lettuce, summer leeks, early brassicas for outdoor beds. At the end of the month, we pre-grow tomatoes, marjoram, peppers and basil. Even in winter it is possible to harvest your own portion of vitamins on the bed. It is possible to harvest hardy vegetables (leeks, brussels and curly cabbage) as needed, overwintering in outdoor beds.
Lawns
We get rid of the lawn from the remains of winter
If we want to have a lawn beautifully green and regularly dense in summer, it is necessary to take care of it from February. After the snow melts, it is necessary to start cleaning it. We start cleaning up the fallen twigs and digging the last leaves. In places where water is held, the lawn will need to be aerated with rakes, scarifiers or aerators to clean the soil from dirt with steel knives and cut into the ground about 1-2 mm deep. With them, we can reach the perfect lawn at the lawn. We do not need to purchase the appliances, just rent them in the rental. In addition, they remove moss, old felt and dead grass. Soil surface loosens and it can better absorb water, nutrients and air. In addition to lawn care, it is high time to check the condition of garden equipment.
Ponds
We clean the pond from dead plant parts
Weather permitting, we clean the water surface from dead plants, leaves and branches. If the pond is frozen, it is good to break the ice. The rays of the sun could warm the ice under the ice. Small lakes could thus have an oxygen deficiency problem.
Flower boxes
We breed houseplants
We multiply the house plants in the spring when the winter rest period ends. However, before starting to reproduce, make sure you have a fresh substrate and prepare a sharp knife or scissors.
