Tipton County Community Garden
Our Master Gardeners have a plot at the Community Garden and they also help other plot owners with gardening advice. We have also held classes at the site. This is just another way the Tipton County Master Gardeners help educate the community.
Monthly "to do" list
January
Plant
- Start seeds indoors.
Maintenance
- Order seeds for the new year.
- Maintain your garden tools. Hand tools should be cleaned and sharpened. Remove rust and treat
handles and blades with a protective coating. Power tools like mowers, weed trimmers, and
blowers should also be cleaned, motors tuned up, blades sharpened, etc.
- If you didn't get a chance to lay down fresh mulch in the fall, do it now.
- Cut branches from shrubs like tulip magnolia, quince, forsythia and pussy willow and force them to
bloom indoors.
- Resist cutting back ornamental grasses until later in the winter or early spring.
- Clean out and store pots.
