After cleaning garden tools, apply a light coat of oil to metal parts to prevent rust. Store tools in a dry place to keep them ready for use in the next season.
Winter is a good time to plan and prepare for the upcoming gardening season. This can include organizing seeds, repairing or sharpening tools, and reviewing garden designs to improve next year’s planting.
Even in winter, gardeners can stay active by pruning dormant plants, protecting shrubs and trees from harsh weather, and clearing leaves and debris for plant health.
Winter garden tasks focus on maintenance and preparation, keeping tools in good condition and planning for a successful spring planting season.
