I hope that each and every one of you had your Holiday Wishes come true. If Santa didn't quite bring you exactly what you asked for, then you may be able to pick up some bargains priced just right for you to take home. Don't forget to check on some of the gardening equipment needs for the coming spring season. You may find this to be just the right time of the year to pick up the items that will make your spring gardening chores easier to handle this year.
Spring is just around the corner and many "Coastal Gardeners" in our area will be putting out early spring gardens now and will be preparing other garden spots which require a later planting date. So button up for cold weather and look for those days that you can get outside comfortably to work on some of the plans you have for the coming spring. Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, there are still chores that can be performed inside.
Don't forget your indoor plants that have been brought in to rest. Keep them watered (moist to touch) and provide them with enough light to continue their growth. Avoid cold or hot air drafts. I like to group my plants together so that each plants respiration and transpiration will provide additional humidity for the other surrounding plants.
