What to Plant in January

January begins the new year and with it hopes for a more bountiful garden. If you are lucky enough to have workable ground this month there are yet plants to be added to your garden this month. Plenty of starts can begin in January as well.

We have compiled this list of plants to be sown, transplated or otherwise added to your garden in January. Taken alongside the January gardening calendar and podcast we hope this helps to provide much of the information you need to be successful this month. As always we continue to create new Plant Pages and eventually will offer information on every plant we have in our monthly planting guides.
