Do not despair and immediately learn about garden care in February which you will have to consider immediately if this time of year is approaching and you do not want your plant and natural space at home to suffer the consequences.

How to care for garden grass in February

As a month of natural transition towards spring, lawn care in February seeks to prepare it for the good weather.

Lack of sun, frost, snow, and excess environmental humidity are not good companions for the health of our grass. They are the cause of the greatest damage.

It is essential to adapt them in times to the climate in which we live. When to start these tasks varies if we live in a very cold climate or a more temperate one. If you do it first, we must wait until the end of the month to start preparing it. And not because these tasks can cause any problems to the grass. Rather because in harsh climates it is advisable to avoid stepping on it until the temperatures begin to soften. The effects of frost on grass are negative, but even more so if we step on it.

Fertilize with slow-release fertilizer and remove leaves and twigs from trees that may accumulate on the winter lawn, always trying to keep the lawn clean to prevent deterioration. With the slow-release fertilizer, our lawn will gradually be nourished, adapting to the rainfall and different temperatures that occur.

We can level the grass, trying to mow it with high cuts to protect the roots from the cold, so that our garden begins to grow evenly.

How to care for outdoor trees and plants in February

In February it is time to prune shrubs, rose bushes, and fruit trees, plant and fertilize deciduous bushes and rose bushes, mulch ornamental trees, and of course plant fruit trees. February is the last month that we can prune our rose bushes.

Try to remove weeds near the plants in February, and you can use a mild pesticide to eliminate this weed problem before it is too late. Likewise, reduce the watering of plants this month and offer a little extra organic fertilizer to the trees and plants that could be forming your garden at this time. In a few months, you will see good results!

Other considerations for garden care in February

· February is an ideal month to prepare and fertilize the soil and is also a good time to plant bulbous species in the garden if you like them.
· If you plan to plant crops in February, opt for onion, tomato, carrot, lettuce, and/or garlic crops.
· Clean the garden machinery and do not let it remain in poor condition.
· Untie and retie any staked plants that you may have in the garden.
· Start with the plantations that will see the light in spring, being able to mention petunias, ageratum, tagetes, and others as examples.
· Directly combat the caterpillars known as pine processionaries (this is if you have this type of tree in your garden).

We hope these tips have been useful to you and now you know! It’s time to prepare your garden for the summer season.
