Anyone who believes that the garden and gardening are hibernating is very wrong. Because one thing is certain: there is always something to do in the garden.<\/p>\n

Gardening tips February<\/h1>\n

Antedate vegetables, herbs and flowers<\/h3>\n

With the low temperatures, many plants are not yet allowed to be put outside, but you can start sowing summer flowers in the (green) house at the end of February<\/strong>. If you do not want to buy rearing vessels, egg cartons are an inexpensive alternative. As a rule of thumb: put one seed per bulge in the soil.<\/p>\n

Plant flower bulbs<\/h3>\n

Bulbs that bloom in summer<\/strong> – like the lily – should be planted in the garden now in February<\/strong>. Make sure that the hole in the ground is deep enough, the onions should be about 15 to 20 centimeters below the ground<\/strong>. Don’t be afraid of frost, it won’t harm the onions. You can also plant bulbs that bloom in spring, but they will bloom a little later.<\/p>\n

Prepare vegetable beds<\/h3>\n

If you haven’t already done this in autumn, you can dig up the beds<\/strong> and fill them up with hummus<\/strong> in February. Dry weather and frost-free days are ideal for making the beds ready for sowing with a hoe and rake. When doing this, remember to remove the first weed roots at the same time.<\/p>\n

Cut woody plants<\/h3>\n

Hedges that are too dense<\/strong> and also fruit trees should be cut<\/strong> in the winter months. This encourages leaves and twigs to grow. Ornamental wood species that bloom in spring should be excluded from the cut.<\/p>\n

Water the garden<\/h3>\n

Even if hardy plants can tolerate the cold well, there is still the risk of dehydration<\/strong> due to lack of water. Therefore, you should water your plants in the garden on warmer days.<\/p>\n

Plan your garden<\/h3>\n

Those who have not yet drawn up a sketch of their garden can now use the time in February ideally for this. If you also create a list, you will have a perfect overview:<\/p>\n
