Spring is a time of renewal and growth in the garden. This is the perfect time to clean up any debris that has accumulated over the winter months, such as fallen leaves, branches, and dead plants. Trim back any overgrown shrubs or trees, and prep your soil by adding compost or mulch to nourish your plants. Consider planting new flowers, shrubs, or vegetables that are well-suited to the spring growing season.
As summer approaches, you'll want to focus on watering and weeding. Make sure your plants are getting enough water, especially during hot, dry weather. Consider installing a drip irrigation system to make watering more efficient. Keep an eye out for weeds and remove them promptly to prevent competition for nutrients. Prune any dead or damaged branches to promote healthy growth.
Fall is a great time to prepare your garden for the winter months ahead. Start by raking up fallen leaves and adding them to your compost pile. Plant bulbs for spring blooms, such as tulips or daffodils. Divide and transplant any perennials that have outgrown their space. Consider adding some fall-blooming plants, such as mums or asters, to add color to your garden.
Winter may seem like a time to take a break from gardening, but there are still tasks you can do to keep your garden healthy. Protect your plants from frost by covering them with burlap or a frost cloth. Consider planting evergreen shrubs or trees for year-round interest. Use this time to plan your garden for the upcoming year, researching new plants or hardscaping projects you'd like to tackle.
