Are you ready to smell fresh flowers and pick some veggies from your garden? We’re just a few weeks away from the official start of spring. That means it is time to start thinking about your garden. Here’s how to get your garden ready:
Start indoors
There are some flowers that you can start growing indoors. This will let you get a jumpstart on the seedlings while it is still cold outside. Planting from seeds is a lot more cost effective then buying plants from the nursery. There are plenty recycling containers you can use for this goal like egg cartons or plastic soda bottles with the tops cut off. Just follow the instructions on the seed pack and you’ll have sprouts to plant in no time.
Get Lawn Equipment Prepped
After a cold winter in the shed, your lawnmower is aching to get to work. Before you power it up, you might want to get the blades sharpen and the engine tuned. That same kind of prep work can be done with your smaller gardening tools, as well. You won’t want to be working with dull blades or rusty tools.
Attack Weeds Early
The first signs of growth in your garden might not be the perennials you planted last year but some fresh weeds. As soon as the ground is no longer frozen, you want to start cultivating that soil. This can help keep the weeds away. There will still be some weeds you need to pull up from the root. The more you can get rid of now, the less you’ll have to contend with when growing season is in full force.
Remove Yard Debris
Some gardeners recommend leaving the last bed of fallen laves on the lawn throughout the winter. They can act as a protective mulch. But you don’t want any of those old leaves around come spring because they’ll actually prevent growth. If you have a compost pile, then it’s a perfect place to dump those leaves.
