During spring, gardens awaken. It's the perfect time to prepare your landscape for the year. Start by clearing any debris left over from the winter months. This process involves removing leaves, twigs, and any fallen branches that could potentially damage your plants. Once your garden is clean, it's time to rejuvenate the soil. At Fayette Property Solutions, we recommend using organic compost, which enriches soil health and prepares it for the growing season. Planting early spring flowers such as tulips or daffodils can also add vibrant colors to your garden. Consider applying a layer of mulch around your plants to conserve moisture and inhibit weed growth.
As summer approaches, garden maintenance shifts focus. With the increase in temperature, watering becomes crucial. Fayette Property Solutions suggests watering your plants early in the morning to minimize water loss due to evaporation. Be mindful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. A well-maintained irrigation system can make this task more manageable and efficient. Summer is also a prime time to focus on lawn care. Regular mowing, fertilizing, and pest control will keep your grass healthy and green. Moreover, summer pruning of shrubs and trees helps prevent disease spread and encourages robust growth.
Autumn brings about another set of necessary gardening tasks. Fall is all about preparing your garden for the winter months ahead. Begin by collecting fallen leaves, which can either be used to create a nutrient-rich leaf mold or disposed of responsibly. Fayette Property Solutions advises cutting back any perennials and removing annuals that have finished their growth cycle. This not only tidies up your garden but also prepares it for the next spring. Fall is also the ideal time to plant bulbs for spring blooming flowers such as crocuses and hyacinths. Don’t forget to apply a layer of mulch to protect plant roots from frost damage.
When winter arrives, your garden enters a dormant phase. It is important to protect your plants from the extreme cold. Consider using burlap or another breathable fabric to wrap fragile plants. For hardier plants, maintaining a layer of mulch is often sufficient protection. Ensure your garden structures, such as trellises or gazebos, are secure and able to withstand heavy snowfall. Regularly check for broken branches in larger shrubs or trees, as these can be trimmed to prevent them from falling and causing damage. While winter may seem like a time of rest, it's an excellent opportunity to plan for next year’s garden improvements.
