What to Plant in January

Don't let the cold keep you indoors—now is the prime time to establish hardy favorites and prep for a lush spring harvest.

January is the ideal month for planting bare-root fruit trees and berry bushes. Planting them while they are fully dormant minimizes transplant shock and gives roots a head start before spring growth begins.
