It is the January To Do List, and we are in the rainiest season out wet in a very long time. Temperatures have moderated a bit, however. Tough to get out in the garden with this much rain, but there are things that need to be done during the dry periods.
It is time to plant:
Bareroot trees, roses, shrubs
Radishes
Lettuce
Onions
Bok choy
Fava beans
Chores include:
Protect from frost. Watch weather report for potential frost days
Don’t work wet soils --- very important
Spray for peach leaf curl and other fungal diseases
Can prune fruit trees – but listen to the caveats in the episode
We finish up with a Listener Q&A section. Topics covered include:
How much of a dry period is needed to spray liquid copper on fruit trees?
Can a rose stem from a bouquet be rooted? What is the process?
When to transplant a Little Ollie olive tree from a plastic pot to the ground?
When to prune hydrangeas?
What is the process for propagating fig tree cuttings?
Can a Boston Fern survive in an outdoor enclosed room?
