| Outdoor Projects |
| 1. Stock up on black oil sunflower and other wild bird seed to feed our feathered and furry friends who may not otherwise find enough to eat. |
| 2. During milder days, garden soil can be turned to allow larger clumps to break down before spring planting. |
| 3. Scan house and yard for any indication of rodent activity; set bait if necessary. |
| 4. Check your bulb beds. Sometimes our spring bulbs get a little too eager for their own good and start coming up when some frosty days are still to come. If they start peeking out too soon, cover them up with more compost and/or those left over christmas tree branches. |
| 5. Do a walk about in the yard to check for winter damage to branches of trees and shrubs, removing any heavy snow you can reach to prevent further damage. |
| Indoor Projects |
| 1. Either order the seeds you want to grow this year or check with your local supplier, like Swan Lake Nurseryland, your source for Pacific Northwest Seed line, to ensure your varieties will be available. |
| 2. Force Hyacinth, paper white and lily of the valley bulbs indoors this month - get an early taste of spring with their colourful blooms. |
| 3. Mist and wipe houseplants to remove winter's dust, which can clog leaf pores. While you're up close, check carefully for any signs of insect infestation and treat accordingly. And remember, a fireplace greatly reduces the humidity in the house, so be sure to set out dishes of water to keep your plants happy. |
| 4. Get your tools ready for the pruning you'll need to do. Oil and sharpen, tune up the power tools, check electrical cords for any sign of damage or wear and repair. |
