While January is not a big month to do much in your lawn or garden, there are still some important things to consider doing this month.

-If you have an area in your landscape where you have some annual color planted it may be a good time to consider re-fertilizing. Most annuals will bloom great until the soil they are planted in runs out of nutrients. We still have a good 3 to 4 months with our winter annuals. April is a good time to start thinking about pulling them up and planting something new.
-December and January are a good time to look at some different varieties of Camellias and Sasanqua because of their winter blooms. It is also a good time to plant them along with many other trees and shrubs. If you have any Deciduous fruit trees, or you are looking to get one or more, this is a great time to plant, trim, and fertilize them.
-trimming back none spring blooming trees and shrubs can also be done at this time to improve shape.
