As we embark on a new year, January may seem like a chilly, dormant period for gardeners, but don’t be fooled. This guide by Jean Baptiste introduces a range of vegetables you can sow both indoors and outdoors during this cold month. Let’s explore the green possibilities that January has in store for your garden.
1. Garlic:
A member of the onion family, garlic thrives in well-drained soil and sunlight. Surprisingly easy to grow, January is an opportune time for planting. Ensure you buy bulb garlic from your local garden center for varieties suited to French cultivation.
Pro Tip:Â Explore different garlic varieties for varying flavors, from strong to mild, or try the large and mild-tasting elephant garlic.
2. Onions and Shallots:
Low-maintenance and undemanding, onions and shallots flourish in any fertile, well-drained soil. Sow their seeds in January and store them in a greenhouse or shelter until spring, allowing them to acclimate before planting.
Pro Tip:Â Opt for a heated propagator to yield larger onions than those planted in April.
3. Beans:
