Many summer residents adhere to the wisdom of the famous proverb: “Prepare the sleigh in the summer, and the cart in the winter.”

To ensure that spring gardening and vegetable gardening work goes smoothly, you need to prepare for the new season in advance.

Already in February, you can sow a number of crops for seedlings. Among them are vegetables and flowers. Therefore, in January, summer residents sort out seeds, buy what they would like to plant for the first time and plan the plot.

You can start with peppers and eggplants. It is important to take into account the weather conditions, based on the experience of past years.

On average, these crops can be sown as early as mid-February or wait until the end of the last month of winter.

During this period, you can also plant flower crops. For example, petunias are very popular with many.

Thus, summer residents begin preparatory work practically after the New Year.

Thanks to this, they do their work in the spring without rushing and do not get lost in the abundance of things to do in a matter of weeks. The beginning of the season is always hectic, so in winter there is an opportunity to unload the spring schedule.
