The cold winter months of the year are a great time to sit back and evaluate the growing season that you’ve just had, by finding answers to questions like what went wrong, what went right, or what can you improve for the next year. This is also the time when your plants need extra care and maintenance, especially if winters in your area tend to be snowy. Snow and frost can give your garden a fairytale look, but they can also damage your overwintering crops if you’re not careful. Here are top 5 tips on how you should take care of your garden during the snowy and frosty winter season:

1. Time to Clean Up Good By the time you reach fall season, chances are that your garden has become a huge pile of mess, since you’ve just left behind the growing season. Now would be a good time for you to start cleaning up the mess. This will help reduce the incidents of overwintering diseases and pests. So remove the spent annual vegetables and flowers and their debris, cut back on your perennials, tidy up the borders, and clear up any weeds.

2. Get A Good-quality Garden Netting Don’t let your kid wear jeans or trousers to their horse-riding sessions. Jodhpurs and breeches are the specially designed apparels to be worn for horse-riding. Children jodhpurs are a popular choice because they allow children to comfortably sit in the saddle and prevent any skin chafing or irritation on the leg while riding. Being stretchy in nature, children jodhpurs also allow for free movements while sitting in the saddle. Children jodhpurs ensure a safe, comfortable and flexible sitting experience.

3. Plan the Planting Positions Carefully Sunshine is a rare commodity during harsh winter months. So for when it is available, you have to make sure that your plants are getting the best of it. Plan the positions of your plants around the garden carefully in winters. Make sure that the tender plants are placed in a spot that’s likely to receive good sunshine warmth, and that they are not placed in the common frost pockets of your garden.

4. Bring Your Gardening Indoors While some plants can survive the winter months with optimal care from your side, there are certain plants that just can’t stand the harsh weather. For these delicate plants, it’s a good idea that you plant them in containers so that they can be taken indoors when need be.

5. Lightly Water the Plants Before Night Time Water your garden plants properly before the freezing night sets in. The wet soil will release moisture into the air enveloping the plants during the night. This will help in somewhat raising the temperatures and providing insulation to the plants. Watering plants will also help in preventing desiccation.
