The Wintertime Blues!

[ThatKidWithTheFace]

Ah, Wintertime. The evil season in which nothing grows.

As gardeners, how do you deal with it? What do you do to satisfy the gardening itch?

I, personally, use the time to work on smaller projects that get overwhelmed in the spring. Things like rock and moss gardens keep me sane until I can start working with the succulents again.

I generally craft during winter to keep my mind off the season. Plants aren't in the mood to grow so I keep them maintained and just craft like crazy to substitute the dullness. You could do some crafty stuff in relation to your garden prep for this coming spring, like making mosaic/painted pots, ect which would look awesome once spring comes along.

Well, the other posters are explaining how to winter over roses inside, and so I am going to shop for plants this winter. We are discussing it here: https://www.gardening-forums.com/threads/what-does-my-indoor-mini-rose-need-now.3959/#post-42773

Currently, I'm in the middle of a move, so I don't have much free time. But as soon as I buy the most necessary things, I'll go to the nearest gardening store and I'll find some lovely plants for my new apartment. I dream about orchids!

I will purchase a new plant to add to the plant family and work on that plant and the others until Spring gets here. I am happy that our winter is short about 90 days, we are almost half way thru winter. I has been cold, no snow yet. January and February are our coldest months and most like winter months.

Gardening, just inside. Starting seeds and figuring out ways to improve my greenhouses and cold frames come the spring.

Learning, learning, learning.

Checking out new ideas. Youtubing and sorting out silly from seriuos.

sometimes i just go and stand in my empty greenhouse. Enjoy the quiet.

Tryng not to hit the "add to cart" button while visiting garden supply sites.

Amen to that, Zigs! It won't be long until our hands are in the dirt again!
