This is the month for planning ahead. Look over the alterations to the garden, the purchase of new plants and stock. It is also the month for the ordering of early seeds, and for looking over catalogs. Pruning of some outdoor shrubs may be done as well as of fruit trees, if the weather allows. Keep snow from specimen evergreens.

Give air to cold frames wherever the temperature is well above the freezing point. Take Asparagus and Rhubarb to greenhouse for forcing, and place them under the stages. Sow Lettuce, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Onion and Leek under glass.

Gardening in January For Southern Residents

Plant the extra early Peas of the Alaska type. Plant Broad Windsor Beans to come in green along with the early Peas. In Florida and the Gulf Coast plant early Irish Potatoes. If the Sweet Peas were not sown in the Fall they should be put in the ground as soon as possible to get them to bloom before the weather gets too hot. Lettuce in frames should be fully exposed to the air in all warm and sunny spells. Where grown under cloth it will get drawn up weak if the cloth is kept on too close. Sow Early Turnip Radish.
