Spring is Here: Time to Start the Landscaping
With the end of March upon us, spring is here and it is time to start your landscaping projects. You however need to do things right so as to end up with a beautiful garden. This includes:
Evaluate your soil
A lot of rain and snow in winter normally erodes most nutrients from the soil. It is therefore important to add fertilizers and other soil amendments so as to correct this situation. You should cultivate all the soil going one foot deep in order to achieve the best results. If possible, get some farmyard manure and sprinkle it on your garden.
The spring garden
When the soil is ready, it is time to start your spring garden. You however need to find the right vegetables to plant. You can go for lettuce, kales, carrots, cucumber, strawberries, tomatoes, squash and others. On the other hand, you have the option of planting herbs such as parsley, chives and basil. All these are available either as a seed or seedling. It all depends on what you want to plant. Here is a guide on what and when to plant.
The blooming flowers
Another great idea for your garden is to plant spring flowers such as marigolds, geraniums, bearded iris, petunias and azaleas. The good thing is that, you can easily find these flowers in plant nurseries. In addition, the flowers not only favor the weather condition in the spring but also, make your garden look very beautiful.
