Composting All Year Long
Practice home composting all year long. Start by recycling your Christmas tree, and not sending it to the dump. Winter composting includes diligently collecting kitchen scraps and putting them in your compost heap or composter. Second, look for other compostable discards that otherwise would go into the trash. You’ll be amazed at what you find.

Home Gardening Holidays
Celebrate Your Gardening Hobby
There are many days to celebrate our hobby. Among them:
Find Seeds Now
January is the perfect month to begin your seed search. Why January? Right now, companies have their entire catalog of seeds in stock. As the winter goes by, they usually do not restock their inventories for the current year.
Years ago, every major seed company mailed seed catalogs to your door right after the holidays. This has been replaced by the ease of online shopping for your seeds. Nowadays, we sit by the fireside with a mug of hot chocolate and browse online catalogs on our computer, cell phone, or iPad. Then, we can immediately order our seed selections. What can be easier!?

Caring for Poinsettias after the Holidays
Poinsettia Have Long-Lasting Blooms
After the holidays, beautiful poinsettias continue to bloom well into the new year. Most of us want to preserve them for as long as possible. Then, when the flowers, actually called "Brachts", finally die off, we keep the plants in hopes of seeing their blooms next Christmas. Fortunately, the plants are easy to grow. Provide it with water as needed. Then, apply a liquid fertilizer once every 4-6 weeks until the fall. Finally, give it as much sunlight as you can. When Autumn arrives, visit our website again to find out how to force poinsettias to bloom. You'll be glsd you did! More on how to grow and care for poinsettia plants.

Home Gardening in the Winter
The Great Outdoors
Winter months may not seem exactly like a time to go out and enjoy the great outdoors. But, being cooped up inside has turned into sheer boredom. Don't while away another moment.
If the weather is calm in your area, get outside and do some light gardening tasks. Start with shaking the heavy snow off of bushes and shrubs to avoid damage. Then, bring tools in from your shed and give them a good cleaning. Sharpen blades as needed. Grab your pruning shears and trim the rose bushes you didn't get to when winter arrived. When you stop and think about it, there are a few more things you can do.
