February

This is to do in February around the garden
- Help your helpers: clean nesting boxes and shelters for usefulness and renew them if necessary. Because if the helpers feel comfortable with you, they contribute to a natural balance.
- At the middle or end of the month, it is finally time to take care of precultures for the vegetable garden (eg aubergines, peppers and tomatoes)
- Continue to harvest winter vegetables such as kale, leek and Brussels sprouts. In the case of strong frost, lamb's lettuce in particular needs protection by means of warming fleece, which is easy to remove in mild weather or warm sunshine
- You can improve the soil quality in empty beds by applying compost.
- In February and March, think about sowing for the flower garden: how about busy lizards, petunias, sunflowers or potted flowers?
- The crop of fruit trees and berry bushes ensures a rich harvest this year.
- Cut ornamental shrubs and perennials on frost-free days.
- The planting of shrubs and shrubs is possible when the soil is thawed.
- Indoor plants also need care: Pest control and moderate fertilization are also included.
- Primroses and horned violets on the balcony and terrace welcome the approaching spring.
- For your pond: The time of the winter break is not over for your pond yet. Keep the surface clean.
- Regularly inspect the potted plants in their winter quarters for pests and fertilize them moderately for the first time
- For the sake of the lawn: Do not enter it with snow, so that it takes no damage.
