Growing Plants in the Fall and Winter
Thinking about growing plants during the fall and winter? It can be done!
An obvious pick for winter gardeners is to grow plants in greenhouses, cloches,
or cold frames. These structures can help you grow a variety of plants in a
controlled environment. There are greenhouses and other structures for a variety
of budgets. Find out everything you need to know about growing plants in
greenhouses at this excellent greenhouse guide.
Fall and early winter is a great time to plant bulbs. Bulbs can often be the first
flowers to bloom in late winter and early spring. Some of the best bulbs for
planting in the fall and winter include daffodils, day lilies, iris, and tulips. Get out
and get your hands dirty planting bulbs so that you’ll be rewarded with color in
the spring!
Growing house plants and windowsill gardens is another way to enjoy the winter
months with plants. To properly grow plants indoors, you should have a spot
that gets plenty of sunlight. You can use a variety of containers for your plants.
Terrariums are also an excellent way to enjoy plants and gardening indoors.
To enjoy plants outdoors in the cooler months, try growing them in containers
and raised beds. A lot of plants that wouldn’t ordinarily survive in the winter can
grow well in raised beds. Why? Because the soil heats up quicker in the small
space of a raised bed than in a large garden plot, so the roots are less likely to
freeze. The soil also dries out quicker, so plants will not be sitting in wet soil for
extended periods of time, attracting plant diseases like root rot.
