As we edge past the halfway mark of February, the buzz of spring starts to fill the air, especially for those of us with a green thumb or a patch of grass to call our own. Here at Greenhaus Landscaping, based in Macomb, MI, we see the coming of spring as the perfect cue to start thinking about preparing our outdoor space for the season. Get ready to roll up our sleeves and get our gardens and yards ready for the season’s grand entrance, that time is quick approaching. Let’s dive into a straightforward guide to shake off winter’s chill from your outdoor spaces.
First things first, let’s clean up the mess winter left behind. Grab a rake or your gloves and clear out all the dead leaves, fallen branches, and any other clutter mucking up your garden. This isn’t just about making your yard look neat; it’s about giving your plants a healthy environment to grow, free from pests and diseases that love to lurk in the leftovers of last season.
Now, with a clean slate, it’s time to dream a little—or a lot. Think back on what worked last year and what didn’t. Want more flowers? Or maybe a corner dedicated to fresh veggies? Sketch your ideas out or just daydream a bit. If you can, think about adding some native plants to the mix. They’re great for the environment and local critters love them.
Good soil equals happy plants. Early spring is the perfect time to check what your soil needs. Maybe it’s a bit of compost or some other organic love to boost its health. Remember, rich soil helps your plants grow strong and makes your garden more drought-resistant.
While your garden’s still waking up, grab your pruning shears. Trimming back dormant shrubs and trees now means you can really see what you’re doing and avoid spreading diseases. It’s all about setting the stage for lush growth when things warm up.
Why wait? Get a head start on the season by planting seeds indoors. Veggies like tomatoes and peppers, and even some flowers, will thank you for the early escape from the cold. By the time frost is a distant memory, you’ll have sturdy seedlings ready to thrive outdoors.
Take a moment to think about how you’re going to water your garden. If you already have a system, give it a once-over to make sure it’s still up to the task. If not, maybe it’s time to consider setting up something like drip irrigation. It saves water and gets moisture right where your plants need it most.
Last on the list, but definitely not least, is giving a little love to the non-living parts of your yard. Fix up any fences, paths, or trellises that have seen better days. And hey, why not think about adding something new? A cozy fire pit or a bubbling water feature can transform your garden into a whole new world.
