The Gardener's Calendar: What to Plant Month by Month
Cultivating an ecological garden is a rewarding and fulfilling experience. Carefully planning the planting calendar helps not only to maximize yield but also to preserve the environment through sustainable agriculture. In this article, we will explore what to plant month by month to keep your green space lush and harmonious.
January: Preparing the Soil
January is the ideal month to start planning your garden. It's time to prepare the soil by adding quality soil and natural fertilizers to ensure fertile and healthy ground. Take advantage of this period to make a homemade compost rich in nutrients.
February: Begin Seeding
Despite the still cold weather, you can start sowing in protected containers. Choose recyclable plastic pots to facilitate the process and protect young plants. Plants like lettuce, arugula, and onions adapt well to these conditions.
March: Ready for Transplanting
With the arrival of spring, many seedlings are ready to be transplanted. Be sure to use repotting kits to ease the transition and reduce plant stress.
April: Spring Garden
The ground warms up, and you can start planting directly in the soil. Carrots, spinach, and zucchinis thrive in this month. Remember to implement a sustainable irrigation system to conserve water.
May: Growth Accelerates
Temperatures rise, and plants grow rapidly. Integrate natural fertilizers to support their lush growth, ensuring to cultivate without pesticides. Use natural remedies for plants like diluted Marseille soap to control pests.
June: Full Bloom
Enjoy the beauty of your flowers and your lush garden. Be sure to regularly remove weeds to prevent unwanted competition for soil nutrients.
July: Watch for Drought
Keep your garden well hydrated using drip irrigation systems. This practice is part of sustainable agriculture and reduces water consumption.
August: Harvest and Maintenance
Much of your hard work will now be rewarded with a bountiful harvest. After harvesting, prepare the soil for new autumn crops.
September: Planning for Fall
Begin planting cabbages, leeks, and other plants that withstand the imminent cold. Work the soil with organic products to maintain its fertility.
October: The Garden Adapts
With temperatures dropping, it's time to protect more sensitive plants with appropriate covers and move them, if necessary, to sheltered positions.
November: Time for Reflection
Take advantage of quieter days to plan your garden for the next season, reviewing what worked and what to improve.
December: Winter Rest
The garden goes dormant, but it's a good time to tidy up tools and organize future activities. Don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter for ongoing tips and offers on our sustainable gardening products.
