\"Winter<\/a><\/p>\n

Winter is one of the best times of year to take to the garden, although a lot of people wouldn’t associate the winter season with their regular gardening routine.<\/p>\n

If you want your garden to look great throughout the year, you have to take the right care of it during the seasonal changes: Winter is a time for more than just cleaning up for the next season, it’s also a great time to get right to planting.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to approach your garden and yard in the winter to get the most possible benefit out of your garden for the rest of the year. Here are a few Winter Yard Planting Tips for your Omaha home.<\/p>\n

Winter Yard Planting Tips in Omaha, NE<\/h2>\n

Start with Preparation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first thing any winter gardener should do is to start with preparing their garden. Take a good walk through your garden and take a look at the state it’s in: This should already help to tell you what needs to be done.<\/p>\n

Start with removing weeds and working some compost into your soil. Next, you might want to add extra nutrients to the soil depending on what you would like to plant.<\/p>\n

Now that it’s winter, are you going to make any serious changes in your garden’s layout or content? The preparation phase is one of the best times to do it.<\/p>\n

Plant in Pots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Winter can be a rough time for some plants \u2013 and if you want to protect them, one of the best ways to do it is to plant them in pots if you live in areas with a harsher winter. When the cold drops too far for the plant to handle, having planted them in pots allows for them to be moved to another spot in the garden \u2013 or to the inside of the house entirely \u2013 until the weather has turned and the plants can be moved back.<\/p>\n

Protect Against the Cold<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Planting in pots isn’t the only way that you can guard your garden against the elements. There are many other ways to do it, including the use of a tarp thrown over plants to protect them from frost, or channels leading away from your plants to protect them from rain if it rains during winter where you’re located.<\/p>\n

If this is done carefully enough, you might even be able to plant crops that don’t traditionally grow in winter. That’s the true sign of a green thumb!<\/p>\n

Winter-Friendly Crops<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>When preparing for your garden, plant crops that take well to wintertime. This includes some types of squash, winter lettuce, garlic, thyme, broad beans and cauliflower \u2013 although there are many more.<\/p>\n
