| How to Grow Vegetables in Winter Posted: 26 Nov 2018 08:00 AM PST Cold winter weather doesn't mean your vegetable garden has to be empty. In fact, vegetable gardening in the winter can be more laid-back than in warmer months since you don't have as much to tend to. The key to successful winter gardening is planting hardy vegetables that are tolerant of the cold. Fortunately, there are lots of vegetables you can choose from for your winter garden. EditPlanting Hardy Vegetables - Grow leafy greens during the winter. Leafy salad greens are hardy and capable of withstanding cold temperatures and frosts. To grow leafy greens for a winter harvest, plant them in the ground during the summer. Some leafy greens you can try growing are:[1]
- Plant root vegetables to harvest throughout winter. Like leafy greens, root vegetables are able to withstand winter weather conditions with enough protection. Plant root vegetables directly in the ground in late summer or early fall for a winter harvest. Some roots vegetables you can add to your winter garden are:[2]
- Try growing brassicas in your winter garden. To grow brassicas in winter, plant them in an outdoor seedbed in late spring or early summer. You can also start them indoors in seed trays or pots. If you start your brassicas indoors, transfer them into the ground outside once they grow into seedlings with a few sets of leaves. Some popular brassicas you can grow over the winter are:[3]
EditProtecting Vegetables from the Cold - Install a shelter to cover your vegetables before the first frost. To keep your vegetables safe from cold and freezing temperatures, you'll need to insulate them with some kind of shelter. Whichever kind of shelter you use, make sure you put it up before the first frost. Otherwise, your vegetables may be damaged from the cold.[4]
- One kind of shelter you can use is a mini tunnel that goes over your vegetables. You can find a mini tunnel at your local gardening center, or you can make your own using metal hoops and a row cover.[5]
- Not sure when your first frost is? Look online to find the average first frost date for your area.
- Build straw-bale cold frames to protect leafy greens and brassicas. Straw-bale cold frames are shelters made with straw bales that help insulate plants from the cold. To make your frames, surround your garden beds with straw bales so they're closed off. Then, lay an old door, window, or piece of polycarbonate over the top of the bales or straw to seal the frame.[6]
- To harvest the vegetables in your cold frames, just lift the top and pull out the vegetables inside.
- Use cloches to shelter greens and brassicas as an alternative to a frame. Cloches are plastic covers that can be placed over plants. You can cover small vegetables with store-bought cloches, or you can make your own for larger garden beds. To make your own cloches, surround your vegetables with posts and slide a plastic garbage bag over them.[7]
- Lay down a thick layer of mulch to protect root vegetables from the cold. Before the first frost, cover the ground around your root vegetables with of mulch. Then, lay a sheet or gardening row cover over the mulch and root vegetables to trap in the warmth.[8]
- Popular types of mulch you can use are shredded leaves, shredded straw, and shredded bark.
- When you're ready to harvest your root vegetables, you can just lift up the sheet or row cover and dig them out of the ground.
EditCaring for Your Vegetables - Water your winter vegetables sparingly. Winter vegetables don't need as much water because of the moisture they get from winter rain and snow. Also, since there's less sunlight during the winter, the soil doesn't dry out as quickly. Water your vegetables occasionally if you're experiencing a winter dry spell, or if the soil they're in is particularly dry.[9]
- Avoid watering your vegetables when it's below . If you live somewhere that has freezing temperatures all winter, make sure you thoroughly water your vegetables in the fall before winter starts.[10]
- Give your winter vegetables just one application of fertilizer. Winter vegetables don't need regular applications of fertilizer to grow. Instead, apply a fertilizer to the soil when you're planting your vegetables and then avoid adding any more for the rest of the winter. Your vegetables will be able to survive the winter off of the initial application.[11]
- Some organic fertilizers you can use are blood meal, bone meal, and cottonseed meal.
- Harvest your vegetables throughout the winter. The right time to harvest your winter vegetables depends on what kind they are and when you planted them. Check on your vegetables regularly and harvest them from their winter shelters so they don't spoil.
- Root vegetables like carrots, radishes, and beets can be harvested whenever they reach a usable size.[12]
- Harvest leafy greens when the leaves are small or medium-sized and tender. Don't let them grow too large or they could develop a bitter taste.[13]
- Brassicas can take 10-14 weeks to mature, depending on the vegetable and variety.[14]

| How to Clean Timberland Boots Posted: 26 Nov 2018 12:00 AM PST While the iconic yellow Timberland boots were originally created to be sturdy work boots, they have recently become a popular everyday shoe. Whether you're wearing them for utility or as a fashion statement, Timberland boots need to be kept clean in order to lengthen their life and to keep their yellow color bright. They are made of nubuck leather, so they need some special care. Keep your Timberland boots looking new by doing spot cleaning often and caring for the leather properly.[1] EditCleaning Small Spots - Remove small debris with a soft brush. Start any Timberland cleaning session by brushing off the boot. Start at the top of the ankle and brush back and forth all the way down the whole surface of the boot.[2]
- If you just have a small amount of debris stuck to your boots, this light brushing will typically remove it. If there are deeper scuffs or lots of debris, you should use the brush to remove as much debris as possible before moving on to other cleaning methods.
- You can use any clean, soft brush for cleaning your Timberland boots. However, the Timberland company does sell a kit that is made specifically for cleaning Timberland boots. You can also get a brush that is specifically made for brushing suede or nubuck, which is usually called a "suede brush."[3]
- Remove scuff marks with an eraser. Use a simple pencil eraser, a generic suede eraser, or a Timberland cleaning bar to remove scuff marks on the surface of the boots. Rub the eraser or cleaning bar lightly over the marks until they disappear.[4]
- The eraser or cleaning bar can take care of most day-to-day scuffs and light marks. They do not work well for removing ground-in dirt or mud that has covered your whole boot.
- Brush the boot once again. Once you have erased all marks on the boot, use the brush to smooth out the surface of the nubuck. The brush will also remove any eraser debris that might remain.[5]
- Move the brush lightly across the surface of the boot, making sure to move it in 1 direction. This will ensure that the surface has a uniform look when you are done cleaning it.
- Do spot cleaning on a regular basis. Keep your Timberland boots clean by removing dirt once per week. This is especially important if they are worn on a daily basis, as dirt and grime can really build up. With some weekly maintenance you can keep your boots looking fresh and new for a long time.
EditDeep-Cleaning Your Boots - Purchase nubuck cleaning and sealing products that match your boots. The products you use should be designed for your boots' specific fabric. Timberland boots come in suede and leather styles, but the traditional Timberland boot is make of nubuck. Suede and nubuck can typically be cleaned with the same cleaner.[6]
- Make sure to buy leather cleaning supplies that match the color of your leather. Look on the packaging of a potential product and make sure that it can clean the yellow leather that a Timberland boot is usually made of.
- If you are unsure of what product to purchase, go to your local boot and shoe repair store and ask if they sell any products that would be appropriate.
- Remove the shoelaces. Take the shoelaces from each boot and set them aside if they are clean. If they are not clean, wash them by hand and let them dry completely before putting them back in your boots.
- Wash the laces in warm soapy water until all of the dirt has been removed. For a thorough cleaning job, scrub them together with the soap and then soak them in warm water. Once cleaned, hang them out to dry.
- You could also include them in a load of laundry in a washing machine. Keep in mind that if they are really dirty, you will probably want to wash them separately from your clothes.
- Remove loose dirt and debris with a soft-bristle brush. Brush off each boot with a brush to remove any dirt particles. Use a light touch, as you don't want to scratch the surface of your boots, but your soft-bristle brush should be safe for your boots. Removing as much dirt as possible at the beginning will minimize the amount of scrubbing you have to do later on.[7]
- Don't forget the bottom of the Timberlands. The soles are especially likely to pick up loose dirt and gravel that can be brushed off easily before cleaning. If you don't brush this dirt off, you're likely to have a muddy mess on your hands and in your house.
- Brushes work better than towels simply because they can get into the nooks and crannies of the boots; however, be careful when using a brush on leather boots, as brushes with very hard bristles may scratch the leather.
- Keep one hand inside the boot. While cleaning the boot, you need to focus on keeping its shape intact. Keeping one hand in the boot will apply opposite pressure against the area you are cleaning, keeping it from collapsing as you scrub it.
- You can also use your hand to push up on creases and wrinkles that you want to get rid of. If you push up on them while cleaning, the combination of your pressure and the moisture from the cleaner can reshape those areas.
- Scrub the soles with a toothbrush and mild dish soap. Rinse the rubber soles of the Timberland boots with water and scrub them with soap using a toothbrush. Gently scrape out any buildup that is in the soles. Rinse the soles with warm water to get out any remaining debris and inspect your work.
- You could also use cotton swabs to get the dirt out of the tread. Dip the cotton swab in warm, soapy water and run it along the grooves until all of the dirt has been removed.
- Scrub the outside of the boot with cleaner and water. Use your cleaner, warm water, and your soft brush to scrub the outside of the upper part of the boot. Move the brush in 1 direction to keep the surface of the boot in good shape. Also, try to use the minimum amount of pressure you need to get any dirt off the surface. Keep scrubbing, and apply more cleaner if necessary, until the surface is clean.
- Make sure to follow the directions on the cleaner to apply it and scrub out stains.
- You can also use a soft toothbrush to really clean deep into the seams of the boots.
- Use sandpaper to buff out remaining stains. If there are noticeable stains that have not been removed by cleaning the boots, you may be able to buff them out with a small piece of fine-grit sandpaper. Using a 400-grit sandpaper and a light touch, move the sandpaper in just 1 direction, and stop sanding as soon as the stain disappears.[8]
- This is a delicate process that should be used as a last resort and you definitely don't want to sand too hard. However, this will get rid of some stubborn stains immediately.
- Rinse the surface with a small amount of water. Once you are satisfied that the dirt and grime has been scrubbed out, it's time to rinse the surface. Use a small amount of water to remove the cleaner residue and any remaining grime.
- Do deep cleaning when necessary. How often you do deep cleaning depends on how often you wear your boots and how dirty they get when you wear them. Overall, you should focus on cleaning them when they look dirty and spot cleaning will not suffice anymore. If you wear your boots daily and they get very dirty, you may need to do deep cleaning on a weekly basis. If your boots stay relatively clean when you wear them, then you may only need to clean them every month or 2.
EditDrying and Buffing Your Boots - Support the shape of the boot with paper. If the boot appears misshapen after cleaning, you should reshape it before it dries. Typically, the toe of the boot is the part that gets most out of shape from cleaning. To fix it, crumple up paper and stuff it down into the boot to push misshapen areas into place.
- You can use newspaper, scrap paper, extra paper bags, or any other type of paper to shape your boot.
- Let your boots air dry for 24 hours. Once the cleaning agent has been applied and any stains treated, let the boots air dry in warm air. They should take around 24 hours to dry completely, depending on how wet they got during cleaning.[9]
- Do not place the boots near high heat, such as a fire. High heat could potentially melt any glue holding the boot together, or destroy the leather parts of your boots.
- Buff your boots. Once the boots are dry, they may still look a little funny. This is because the surface of the nubuck is likely matted and needs some care. Use a clean, dry brush to lightly brush the surface of the boot in 1 direction. This will make the boots look like normal again.
- If the boot is really matted, so much so that brushing it doesn't do much, hold the boot close to the steam from a kettle and then scrub it with a toothbrush. The steam should untangle the matted nap, allowing you to scrub it straight and make it stand up again.
- Condition or seal your boots. Pick a conditioner or sealer to protect the newly clean surface of your boots. Follow the directions on the packaging when applying it. In general, these products are applied by putting a small amount of them on a clean rag and wiping it over the entire surface of the boot.[10]
- Conditioner is made just to keep the leather supple and not dried out. A water-proofing product is meant to help keep water from soaking into the leather. Both products can be great for your boots but they should not be used at the same time.
EditThings You'll Need - Brush
- Towel
- Eraser or suede cleaning bar
- Dish soap
- Toothbrush
- Nubuck or suede cleaner
