In addition to knowing which crops can adapt well to this winter season, GARDENWEB also recommends that you perform the following tasks in your garden.

Start planning your spring planting: if you start organizing and sowing in January the plants you will grow in spring, you can enjoy the harvests much earlier.
Protect the garden from the cold: in the case of more sensitive plants (such as seedlings), they need to be in small greenhouses.
Apply slow-release fertilizers: in our case, we recommend Osmocote fertilizers, as they are designed to be applied in crops where it is important to minimize release during the first 2-3 months. For example, in winter, when the demand for nutrients decreases due to the winter dormancy of plants.
Apply a layer of vermicompost: this will help the soil retain heat and moisture for longer. In this article, we explain how to make vermicompost.
Be careful with watering: it is important to reduce the frequency of watering during the cold months, otherwise you run the risk of causing waterlogging.
