Despite those last vestiges of winter chills, late winter is a great time to begin pre- paring gardens for the coming planting season. Gardens may have to withstand months of harsh weather each win- ter, and such conditions can take a toll. Garden- ers can consider the fol- lowing tips as they try to restore their gardens and get them ready for spring planting. • Disinfect your tools. It's common to clean tools in late fall or whenever they're typically placed in storage for the winter. But cleaning and disin- fecting are not neces- sarily the same thing. If tools were not dis- infected at the end of the previous gardening season, disinfect them before doing any work on the garden. Doing so can ensure any lingering bacteria or fungi on tool surfaces are killed prior to the beginning of gar- dening season. Accord- ing to the Univer- sity of Minnesota Extension, plant pathogens, in- cluding bacteria and viruses, can be transferred to and infect plants through bits of soil and plant debris left on shovels and pruner blades. Thoroughly dis- infecting such tools prior to us- ing them in the spring is a great way to reduce the risk of disease in your garden. • Clear debris from garden beds. Leaves, twigs, sticks, and other debris may have gath- ered in the garden over the winter. Such debris can inhibit the growth of plants and vegetables, so make sure all of it is removed prior to plant- ing. Weeds might even begin to sprout up in late winter and early spring, so remove them before they go to seed. • Test the soil. Testing the soil prior to planting can help gardeners deter- mine what their gardens will need to thrive in the coming months. Garden centers and home im- provement stores sell home testing kits that are effective and easy to use. Once the results are in, speak with a pro- fessional at your local garden center about the best time to amend the soil. • Loosen compacted soil. Soil can become compacted over winter. If compacted soil is not loosened prior to plant- ing, plants will have a hard time getting the water and nutrients they need to thrive. Loosen- ing the soil also provides another opportunity to inspect the garden for any underlying is- sues, such as fungi or weed growth, that you may have missed when clearing debris or testing the soil. Late winter is a good time to assess a garden and address any issues that developed over the winter so plants and vegetables can thrive come the spring planting season.
