Here’s a zone-by-zone to-do list for the month of January.

Zone 5
Start seeds of pansies, snapdragons, and hardy perennials.
Replenish your supplies, including seed-starting mix and organic fertilizers.
Where there isn't much snow cover, push back any plants that have "heaved" out of the ground because of freeze-thaw cycles.
Start a collection of scented geraniums by taking cuttings from a friend's plants.
If you're growing geraniums indoors in pots, cut back leggy stems by about half, repot the plants in fresh soil, and then set them in a cool, bright window.
