Spring Garden Projects To Work On In The Winter

December 15, 2020 by Kasi Smith Leave a Comment

If you think gardening is over because winter is here, think again! There are actually a lot of spring garden projects to work on in the winter. Garden projects that you want ready when spring comes are easily worked on inside during the winter when you can’t work outside. Such projects are a great way to keep busy until the weather warms up. No gardener can resist these spring garden projects to work on now.

Spring Garden Projects To Work On In The Winter

Just because it's Spring time doesn't mean there's not things you can do in your garden. These Spring garden projects will get you ready for the year.

What do eggshells have to do with garden projects? A lot, actually. Save your eggshells over the winter to make your spring gardening better than ever. Here’s why you should:

  • Eggshells have lots of calcium, so they are a great way to boost your soil. {Especially for tomato plants!}. You can boost the soil by grinding the shells and adding them to the soil when you plant.
  • Add them to your compost bin to improve the mineral content of your compost.
  • Sanitize the shells with boiling water, and then use them for tiny seedling pots when you start seeds indoors. When it’s time to transplant your seedlings, the shell can go right into the ground with the plants.
Toilet paper tubes are perfect for your seeds in you the Spring. These Spring garden projects will get you so excited to start gardening for the year.

During the winter, save your toilet paper tubes for starting seeds. Stuff the bottom with some newspaper before filling with good quality potting soil, then start your seeds inside. These makeshift little seeds pots can go right into the ground with the seeds when it’s time to plant.

Spring time is the perfect time of year to create a compost bin. These Spring garden projects will get you so excited for the upcoming gardening season.

If you don’t have a compost yet, this winter is the time to start one! Build a simple wood bin right from scrap lumber or wood pallets. Decide on a spot for your compost bin, and if needed clear away the snow so the ground is uncovered. Set your DIY compost bin out and start saving your food scraps.

Just because Spring can be yucky doesn't mean there aren't garden things to do. Try growing herbs in your kitchen. For more Spring garden projects, look here!

Even during the winter, you can and should enjoy fresh herbs right in your own kitchen. Just start a kitchen garden and grow them right in a sunny window. Once spring comes and the ground warms up, feel free to move your herbs outdoors for the season.
