Spring is the time when nature and your garden awakes and comes alive after the long winter. Spring is the time to interplant perennials, shrubs, roses and plant or transplant your annuals.
It’s time to shape up your soil, loosen the mulch around your plants and prune your early blooming shrubs. Rake and remove leaves and debris from your garden. Without a good planting medium your flower garden will never be at its best.
An important part of spring gardening is getting on top of the weeds. Most weeds are fairly easy to control when you start taking them out from early spring on. At that time they still have a shallow root system and because they haven’t bloomed yet they haven’t reproduced either. Taking care of them in spring will pay off big in summer.
Now that all the clean-up, planting, pruning and weeding is done its time to have some fun by adding some garden decor into your beds. This can take the form of statuary, a bench, stepping stones, decorative birdhouses, a fountain or birdbath. The list goes on and on. Choose the item that best suits the theme you are trying to achieve and that reflects your personality.
Spring, it’s really the growing season, and for a gardener it’s perhaps the most beautiful and promising time of the year.
