Planning and Preparation

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that requires careful planning and preparation. Before the growing season begins, it’s essential to map out where you intend to plant your flowers and vegetables. This will help you determine the best locations for each plant, taking into account factors such as sunlight, soil quality, and accessibility. • Consider the mature size of each plant when selecting a location.

Preparing the Soil

Before starting your seedlings, it’s essential to prepare the soil. This involves loosening the potting mix to a depth of about 6-8 inches to allow for good drainage and aeration.

As the seasons change, gardeners must adapt to the unique challenges and opportunities presented by each time of year.

Assessing the Condition of Your Lawn

As the snow melts, it’s essential to inspect your lawn for any damage caused by the winter weather. Check for bare spots, dead grass, and any signs of erosion. Take note of any areas that may require additional attention, such as patching or re-seeding. • Consider hiring a professional to assess your lawn if you’re unsure about its condition or if you have a large area to cover.
