Here are the month-by-month gardening plans for the year 2026.
January tasks
As this month is not ideal for growing any new vegetables due to crisp winters. But you may grow calendula or chamomile. The quieter winter garden could be decorated with our fancy grow lights, which will help you to grow plants without the heat of the real sun. Cleaning and sharpening of tools like pruners or oil handles could be done to make the maximum use of your time. Also, simple repairs could be carried out. Organising the shed, washing pots to avoid contamination, could be a task to perform for the month. This is the perfect time for pulling out weeds and topping the dress beds with a layer of compost.
February tasks
This is the time to tighten trellises and set hoops where required. Also, ensuring a proper check of the irrigation system and buying seeds from Bayton Horticulture would be the best step. Vegetable seeds sown this month are eggplant, okra, sweet potatoes and growing flowers like zinnia is the best option.
March tasks
This is the time you can begin sowing seeds. Therefore, installing barriers to protect the plants from rabbits as well as squirrels becomes an important task. We provide various plant protector sprays to help your plants stay insect-free and grow beautifully.
April tasks
Avoiding aphids could be challenging. Filling compost and planting warm-season edibles is the task for the month. Plant beautiful and colourful flowers to support bees. Keep your pots where they get sunlight for at least half a day.
May tasks
Prevention is better than a cure. So, you must fight weeds as early as possible and look for mites as well as stippled leaves. Soil, this time, is warm and crumbly. So, directly sow the seeds in generous amounts. Softly tie the stems, add nectar-rich annuals and plant sunflowers this month.
June tasks
Warm soil crops can be directly sown. You need to check daily for pests and reserve our best quality sprays for infestations. Lavenders, mint, and lemon could be grown.
July tasks
Watering plants daily in the morning is the task for the month of July. Adding temporary shade from Bayton Horticulture will protect your plants from the heat spikes of hot afternoons. Keep a check on extra hydration of plants to retain moisture in the soil. Tomatoes could be grown.
August tasks
Prune damaged plants. Add rapid growers to fill the gaps and patches. As the plants are fully mature this month, make the most of the sun’s warmth. It is the time of the year when the garden needs to be shut down for the month of winter.
September tasks
Harvest daily to remove overripe fruits and spent plants. Watering the plants as required by the soil to maintain steady moisture. You can plant cilantro and radish in a cooler climate for a cool season ahead.
October tasks
This is the time to clear the summer plants that are spent and to directly sow cool crops. Raking beds with our rake can be done this month. Frost protection must be kept in mind. Growing lettuce and spinach could be considered if it’s mid to late October.
November tasks
Harvesting greens that are cool-seasoned, protecting them from frost, and raising the compost beds are the tasks of the month. Indoor gardening can be opted for growing sprouts and microgreens.
December tasks
Washing and drying the tools and air drying and storing row covers is necessary at this time of the year when the weather is nippy. Rosemary, oregano, thyme and sage are the perennial herbs that can be grown this time.
