During the winter your garden will be at its lowest level of activity as most of your plant will be in survival mode. They do this so they can out-last the cold weather and thrive in the coming summer months. In the transition from winter to summer is of course spring, this is the busiest time of year for your plant where they all seem to come back to live and begin budding and sprouting. Here we have some brilliant spring gardening tips to help make summer in your garden a roaring success.
Winter can be a very harsh season for your garden, so the first thing you should do is set about tidying up any debris. This might be fallen leaves, sticks and branches. Using a rake to do this is recommended, but you can do it by hand if you don’t have a rake. The next thing to do is mow your lawn. You can use your lawn cuttings as a useful addition to your compost bin. Next you should dig over your flower beds and work some compost into the top soil. This will give your plants and flowers plenty of nutrition over the summer months. You should also look to remove as many weeds as you can during this time.
You could also start having a flick through some seed catalogs. There may be some nice new flowers you can get going as seedling in the early spring for planting in your flower beds as the warmer weather comes around. Keeping your garden clean and weed free is the best start you can give it for the growing season. It means that your flowers aren’t fighting for space with unwanted plants.
