January Gardening

For January I can start my seeds of Broccoli, Cabbage, and Cauliflower. (This is of course based on my average last frost date, which may not be the same as yours). So for January I could have started on the 7th and started Broccoli and Cabbage but I didn't have my seeds yet but what is great is I've planned for a continuous crop so I can start my seeds again on the 21st which is tomorrow. So for future reference:

12 weeks before last frost:
Start: Broccoli and Cabbage seeds (January 7, 2011)

10 weeks before last frost:
Start: Broccoli, Cabbage, & Cauliflower (January 21, 2011)

Also January is a good time to prune fruit trees, grapes, blueberries, roses, etc... But do it later in the month.
