January is the perfect month for some garden planning. While the real work begins in spring (once the ground becomes more workable after frost), it's never too early for some preparation.
One of the most important winter gardening checklist tasks to tick off now is testing your soil in January. Soil health is the backbone of successful growing, and using a soil test kit (we recommend this lab-tested one on Amazon) will give you an insight to what's happening beneath surface level in your yard.
