analysis: Let’s Get Some Garden Fixes Done This Early Spring

Clean out the garden beds

Notes:

• Winter can play havoc on your garden beds and other landscape areas. Remnants of fall leaves, dead plants and foilege, winter weeds, and everything else that crept in during the winter when gardens are generally ignored.
• Early spring is the perfect time to rake everything out, pull up weeds and other invasive plants, and basically clean out excess growth and other unwanted landscaping junk.
• And once the cleanup has been completed, your landscaping bed and areas are ready for fresh spring mulch to give your beds the new look for the upcoming season.

Lay down some sod or grass seeding

Notes:

• You need to get the lawn ready – by raking out any dead winter growth – spraying for weeds – applying fertilizer – and toughing up the turf for those hot summer months.
• Depending on your area, you might need to throw in some more seed and/or lay down turf sod to fill up those areas that are weak and spotty:

Install a sprinkler system

Notes:

• There are three things you need to have a lush, beautiful garden: sunshine – fertilizer – water. Two of these ingredients you can control: fertilizer – water (if you live in an area where water storage resources are available). And the most time consuming of all three is watering.
• You can understand how cumbersome it gets to drag the water house around your garden to keep your lawn, flower and vegetable beds, shrubs and trees thriving in the hot summer sun.
• Now wouldn’t it be better to have an automated sprinkler system – something that you can control automatically to provide the right amount of water as needed?
• Spring is the perfect time to install a sprinkler system before the summer heat. You will also be tearing up your lawn to lay down the pipe. So getting this installation down early will allow you to replace your sod and get it established before the summer heat.

Get ready for planting

Notes:

• Finally, it time to get ready for planting once your area moves out of the freeze zone based on the calendar season. Replant bulbs that were taken and up stored during winter – plant seed indoors or outside for your vegetable and flower garden – visit the garden centers for live plants to transplant back home.
• You need to get these plantings in during spring so that they can establish strong roots to asborb and grow in the summer sun.
• FINAL REMARKS Spring is a busy time with much to do to get your yard n’ garden ready. But it’s worth the time. Nothing can be more pleasing to see the growth of beautiful flowers and shrubs that all started from your early spring preparation.
