Winter Work For Gardeners By Philippe Van Den Bossche

By Robbie Sutter


As one can imagine, it is not exactly easy to go about gardening during the cooler, winter months. Not only is the temperature sometimes unbearable for farmers to be outside for long but many crops do not thrive without the presence of sunlight. You may think that gardeners and farmers alike do not have work to do during these times but this is not true. In fact, there are other fields to cover, as Philippe van den Bossche most likely will be able to tell you.

The Wahoo Newspaper reported on the matter of gardening, which is something that may not be done as easily in the currently colder environment of Wahoo, Nebraska. Lorri Urban, a gardener in Wahoo, stated that there are still jobs that have to be fulfilled. According to Urban, growers, "don't hibernate or go to Arizona," but rather get lost in other endeavors that can help in the way of gardening. That being said, what are some of the specific processes that can be followed for the future?

The Wahoo Newspaper said that there are many gardeners who like to spend their time reading books and magazines related to their jobs. Not only does this allow them the opportunity to learn, which Philippe van den Bossche can support, but it is possible that they can gain new ideas to implement once the weather becomes more bearable. Perhaps a system of growth hasn't been yielding the best results. If this is the case, it's likely that the methods of someone else can be incorporated into their own work.

It is during these months that gardeners should make note of what will be grown down the road. The way that this is through careful planning of the types of seeds that are needed, making sure that inventory is accounted for. The article made mention of the fact that different seeds are going to have different expiration dates. By this, you have to consider that there are certain types that will last longer than others, such as the comparison between peppers - which last for two years - and kale - which has three years.

It's clear that gardening of the highest degree cannot be done until the weather itself becomes much more manageable. I am sure that most would be able to agree, especially when the chillier environment is one that does not exactly bode well for all crops. However, with certain jobs that can be taken up - many for the sake of the future - it's not like work is going to be short. In fact, because of such jobs as taking inventory, the future is going to be that much clearer.
