Vegetables & Herbs

• Use wood ashes on your vegetable garden if the soil pH is below 6.

Fruits

• Order berry plants (strawberries, blackberries, blueberries) and grape vines for February or March planting.
• You can continue planting fruit trees through the end of winter dormancy, but planting before Christmas is preferable.
• Mulch strawberry beds for winter protection. Use a layer of wheat straw or pine needles 2–3 inches thick.
