The Wave Crew Wave Petunias | Cool Wave Pansies
Some parts of the country have felt the chill of winter that is upon us. Turn on the radio and we’re bound to hear a holiday tune to remind us that we need to put to bed our lush Wave gardens. So in conjunction with the season, we asked our Pink Pot Ambassadors: Do you garden in the winter?
I do now! Previously we lived where it wasn’t as much of an option, but since moving a few zones warmer to an island in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) I can! Hallelujah to the Olympic Rainshadow. All the perks of a rainforest, minus the overly gloomy perpetual rain people associate with the PNW. I feel like I now live in a garden dreamland fairytale of a place. - @igardennow
Winter is all about houseplants for me. I don't have a greenhouse and I don't like the cold, but I do manage a little makeshift hoop house for those cold weather crops. -@broadwaygardener
I definitely get the winter blues when the days are short and the garden is... brown. I do plant a few things every fall that will last through the winter unless we have crazy low temperatures. Garlic, kale and broccoli when it comes to vegetables – and I like to make sure my planters all have an evergreen in them - so there's still something green to look at during the winter. -@everydaygardeningtips
I haven't in the past, but I hope to start some seeds under grow lights over the next couple months for the first time. -@porchsidepetals
Yes! We are very fortunate to have mild winters in Texas so often I can garden almost up to spring! I recently had my winter garden reel go viral on Instagram and it has over 2.2 million views! -@southernhomeandfarm
We may start seeds indoors, but we don’t typically do any gardening outdoors in the winter. In Missouri (Zone 6b) we get a full four seasons. Our first frost is usually around mid October and our last frost is around mid April. We do get some bulbs in the ground so they can start doing their thing though during the winter. We often still get big temp swings in early spring so we are usually safe to plant annuals around Mother’s Day. -@trowelanderrorgardening
Winter is our time off to recoup from the projects, yard work, and gardening in the spring, summer, and fall. While we enjoy the slower pace for a few months, we find ourselves looking back at photos from summer and fall when the Wave Petunias created the most beautiful wave in front of our house. -@guimondgardens
