Share
Hey Guys,
I hope everyone is doing well.
This follows on from the first half of getting you're garden ready for spring.
So let's dive right in once again:
1: Get Pruning:
Another top task when preparing your garden for spring is to cut back some perennials and even some varieties of shrubs. This will encourage more growth in the long run.
2: Start Seeds Indoors:
This is the perfect time to start seeds indoors, you can start certain seeds indoors as early as the beginning of the beginning of the year. You can start seeds for vegetables, herbs and annual flowers indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date.
3: Scrub Your Greenhouse:
It's worth remembering that preparing your garden for spring isn't just about your plants and soil. Garden structures need attention too. If you have a greenhouse in your outdoor space, it's a good idea to use the quiet winter months to pay attention and maintain your greenhouse for the upcoming growing season.
4: Create A Planting Plan:
Preparing for spring doesn't have to be all work and no fun! There's always time for fun when it comes to garden work and one of the ways you can do this is to create a planting plan! This gives you a good idea of what you can do and it gives you something to look forward to and keeps you motivated when things get tough. Let your vision for your garden come to life in any plan you can come up with! By creating a planting plan you can ensure that your garden is always full of colour and interest throughout the summer months.
