Spring: As the snow melts and the temperatures rise, it's time to start preparing your yard for the growing season. Here are some essential tasks to tackle in the spring: 1. Clean up debris: Remove any leaves, branches, or other debris that has accumulated over the winter months. 2. Prune trees and shrubs: Trim back overgrown branches to promote healthy growth. 3. Aerate the soil: Allow oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your plants by aerating the soil. 4. Fertilize: Provide your plants with the nutrients they need to thrive during the growing season.
Summer: In the heat of summer, it's important to stay on top of your yard maintenance to ensure your plants stay healthy. Here are some tasks to focus on during the summer months: 1. Water regularly: Keep your plants properly hydrated, especially during hot and dry periods. 2. Weed control: Prevent weeds from taking over your yard by regularly pulling them or using weed killer. 3. Mulch: Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil and prevents weed growth. 4. Monitor for pests: Keep an eye out for pests that can damage your plants and take action to control them.
Fall: As the leaves start to change colors and temperatures drop, it's time to prepare your yard for the coming winter. Here's what you should do in the fall: 1. Rake leaves: Keep your yard clear of fallen leaves to prevent suffocation of your lawn. 2. Plant bulbs: Plant spring-blooming bulbs in the fall to ensure a beautiful display of flowers in the spring. 3. Clean and store tools: Clean and sharpen your gardening tools before storing them for the winter. 4. Prepare your lawn: Give your lawn a final mow and fertilization before the cold weather hits.
Winter: While your yard may be covered in snow, there are still tasks you can do to keep it in good shape during the winter months: 1. Clear snow: Keep walkways and driveways clear of snow and ice to prevent accidents. 2. Protect plants: Cover delicate plants with burlap or other protective materials to shield them from harsh winter conditions. 3. Plan for spring: Use the winter months to plan your garden layout and make any necessary improvements. 4. Check on plants: Periodically check on your plants to ensure they are surviving the winter weather.
