How should we take care of our garden each month of the year? If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you can check out this monthly gardening calendar about planting, pruning, and harvesting season.

During the winter months we recommend that you start by preparing the tools, cleaning your garden. During the month of February you can sow some plants such as rose bushes or conifers, as long as the ground is not frozen. Also, you can plant some trees or shrubs.

At this time it is not very advisable to plant outside, but you can perform various tasks such as mulching the lawn, pruning flower bushes or fruit trees.

At the end of March you can plant evergreen trees and shrubs and those deciduous that are sensitive to the cold. During this period you can transplant the flowers to their final place or remove the weeds.

During the spring you can apply fungicide to trees, shrubs and rose bushes. It is advisable to transplant the flowers that need mild temperatures and if there is little rain it is time to start watering, but without excesses. Try to protect the young plants from the morning frost.

During this season, it is time to remove the protection of the plants against the cold and to take the potted flowers outside. You can ventilate greenhouses and seedbeds, prune shrubs that have passed flowering, and mow the lawn every 10 days. Apply fungicide against insects on coniferous and leafy plants.

Every time we get closer to summer, we must water more frequently, fertilize the garden.

You can also grow fruit trees and those that are not. The lawn will need more special care as we move away from spring, so reduce the days and cut the lawn every 7 days.

In summer remember that both the lawn and the plants exposed to the sun need daily watering. Remove dried flowers and prune trees that are past flowering. Plant species that bloom in fall and winter and apply the last fertilizer and spray frequently

During the autumn months, dig the soil of the massifs without plants so that they are aired, remove the remains that remain in the earth, stop the irrigation and reduce the ventilation of the greenhouses.

Plant shrubs, apply manure to deciduous trees, mulch to prevent cold. Stop watering your garden and mow your lawn. It is advisable to water indoor plants with warm water. During the month of December, spend your time mowing the grass and pruning the trees, apply minerals and manure, and continue with mulching and collecting leaves.

All the steps mentioned above will help you create your own irrigation schedule based on the type of species that make up your garden and the area in which you live.
