Your flowerbed and winter plantings should already be securely covered, and you won’t need to worry about their condition in the near future.
If the winter is good, there is not a lot of wet snow and thaws, then the plants will overwinter well and will begin to produce their first shoots in the spring.
But an experienced gardener knows that not everything is so simple and it is important to monitor crops even in winter.
Let's pay attention to some recommendations from the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What needs to be done in the flower garden and vegetable garden in winter
Even if you have mulched your rose garden and the vegetables sown in the winter well, they may still suffer or even die.
The reason for this may be damping off, which occurs during sudden warming.
The loose snow begins to melt and freezes into a crust, preventing air from reaching the crops.
Therefore, it is better to make holes in the snow cover at this time. Also, in the fall, it was possible to install shelters with ventilation.
