Late winter is the perfect time to begin preparing your garden for the upcoming growing season:
1. Begin by clearing away winter debris and dead plants.
2. Prune your trees and shrubs to promote strong, healthy growth.
3. Test your soil and enrich it with compost or organic fertilizers if necessary.
4. Early spring is ideal for planting cool-season vegetables like radishes, onions and potatoes, while warm-season crops such as tomatoes and peppers can be planted later.
5. Add a layer of mulch around your plants to conserve moisture and prevent weeds.
These simple tasks will help ensure your garden thrives during spring and summer.
