January Checklist
  • Plant cool weather veggies like Cauliflower, Broccoli, Collards, Kale and leaf crops.
  • Check your compost to make sure it isn't too wet or too dry.
  • Spend a Saturday morning at one of the BHN Pruning Workshops.
  • Repot container plants that have gone 2 years or more in the same pot.
  • Prune Roses.
  • Get a jump on planting CA natives like Ceanothus or Arctostaphylos.
February Checklist
  • Plant summer flowering bulbs like Begonias, Gladiolus, Lilies and Dahlias.
  • Turn in cover crops or green manure.
  • Finish pruning full-sized fruit trees.
  • Last chance for direct seeding of annuals.
  • Select winter flowering shrubs such as Forsythia, Chaenomeles, and Syringa.
  • Bareroot berries are a bargain: Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries.
