January is the start of a new gardening year, but there is often an illusion that it is a very slow month in the garden. The days may be colder and there can be frost or snow on the ground, but there is still work to do and a long list of January gardening jobs.
I spent a long time working year-round as a professional gardener in the UK. Things did not slow down in January as I spent countless hours planting, pruning, mulching, and more. It could be glorious on a sunny and crisp winter day. And when the weather was uninviting, I could be indoors planning, sowing, or doing essential cleaning and preparatory tasks for the season ahead.
