Spring is right around the corner. It’s time to start thinking about your garden. At this point I can hear people asking “what does a garden have to do with organization?”.
The answer, “everything!”. As a huge gardener I am always excited to start planning my garden. Don’t get me wrong, I love winter and snow. But a garden is the ultimate answer for stress. You can dig in dirt, get all dirty and covered from head to toe…and it’s o.k.
You plant seeds and watch them grow all spring and summer and you are so proud. Just as if you had given birth to a baby! But before you can even think about planting your seeds you have a lot of work to do.
First, it is very important that you wait until the ground thaws and is dry. Then, it is important that you check your soil and get a soil test to check the pH levels. You can check with your garden center or a county extension office for these tests. Then you will need to add the correct materials to your soil to correct any imbalances.
You will also need to clean up any leftover debris from old plants. Pull them out of your gardens and compost them.
Next, you can prune your fruit trees and any other trees and bushes.
Then, spray your fruit trees.
Now is also the time to plant your cold weather crops, like broccoli. And you can start your other seeds indoors.
Add mulch as needed and edge your yard for a new fresh look.
Spring is here….and soon our garden duties will be in full swing.
By being organized and planning ahead you can have the best yard and garden in your neighborhood.
