SPRING YARD AND GARDEN PREP IDEAS
It’s time to welcome the early signs of spring. Birds are chirping, trees are starting to bud, and daylight savings time has returned. If you’re longing to get outdoors, here are some ideas to start prepping your yard and garden for the spring season.
- Prepare flower beds for spring by removing the remnants of winter such as dried leaves or twigs or other debris. Cut any dried foliage left over from last year. You can also get a head start by prepping your soil.
- Start some early spring tasks for your lawn. Start by clearing sticks and branches and leftover leaves. Add seed to any bare spots in the lawn. When the ground is dry, rake up dead grass.
- Inspect front porch, steps, decks, and patios for signs of winter damage from snow or ice. Make any necessary repairs before the weather gets too warm.
- We’re all longing for some spring flowers, but it’s still too cold to start planting in the ground. You can add some pops of color with some early spring annuals that don’t mind the cold. Add pots of violas or pansies to your front porch or deck.
