Spring is a time of renewal and growth in the garden. As the weather warms up, it is the perfect time to start preparing your yard for the upcoming season. Start by cleaning up any debris and dead foliage from the winter months and pruning any shrubs or trees that need it. Consider planting annuals and perennials that will add color and texture to your landscape. Remember to also fertilize your lawn and flower beds to give them the nutrients they need to thrive.
As summer approaches, your focus should be on maintenance and watering. Keep your lawn mowed at the appropriate height for the type of grass you have. Water your plants deeply and infrequently to encourage healthy root growth. Mulch around your trees and flower beds to retain moisture and suppress weeds. And don't forget to stay on top of weeding to prevent them from taking over your garden.
Fall is a time of transition in the garden, as temperatures begin to cool and plants start to go dormant. It is important to continue watering your plants until the ground freezes to help them survive the winter. Rake up fallen leaves and add them to your compost pile or use them as mulch. Plant spring-blooming bulbs like tulips and daffodils for a pop of color in the early months of the year.
Finally, winter is a time to sit back and plan for the upcoming spring. Take this time to clean and sharpen your gardening tools, organize your shed or garage, and dream up new landscaping projects for the next year. Consider planting winter interest plants like evergreens to add color and structure to your garden during the colder months.
