Before you can start planting new flowers and vegetables, you need to clear out the debris and dead plant material that's accumulated over the winter. Take a rake and remove any dead leaves, twigs, and branches from your garden beds. This will help prevent the spread of disease and give your new plants a healthy start.
Spring is the perfect time to give your soil a boost. Add a layer of compost or well-rotted manure to your garden beds to improve drainage and fertility. You can also test your soil pH and adjust it if necessary. This will help ensure that your plants have the best possible conditions to thrive.
Pruning and trimming are essential tasks to get your garden ready for spring. Cut back dead or damaged branches on trees and shrubs, and trim back perennials to encourage new growth. This will help control the shape and size of your plants and promote healthy growth.
If you have perennials that have outgrown their containers or are looking a bit congested, spring is the perfect time to divide and transplant them. This will give them more room to grow and help prevent them from becoming too leggy. Make sure to handle the roots carefully and plant them in well-draining soil.
Finally, it's time to start thinking about what you want to plant in your garden this spring. Make a list of the flowers, vegetables, and herbs you want to grow, and plan out your garden beds accordingly. Consider companion planting, crop rotation, and succession planting to ensure a bountiful harvest.
Trellis obelisks add vertical interest, form focal points in a border and provide a framework for plants to climb. Use them as a support for low-growing.
