Spring is a time of year that signals new growth and prosperity ahead. The temperatures start to warm and the days become longer. Days are spent outside in your garden or yard working with the available nature as opposed to cooped in from the cold. It is marked by the thawing of the cold winter chill and the emergence of new life in all forms, from animals to the plants we all love dearly. We all see spring as a time for new beginnings because it really is, especially when it comes to your garden and the plants in it.

With spring right around the corner, the shift toward preparing for a new year of your garden is rapidly approaching – faster than you may realize. It is important to take this time to start getting everything in order for the long-awaited spring that everyone has been looking forward to. We all know that if we want our garden to thrive, spring is one of the times when we need to pay special attention to tending to it for both the benefit of our garden and ourselves.

But you might ask, what exactly does that entail? Well, there are a few key tips to keep in mind for spring gardening. Any of these taken into consideration will have your garden blossoming to be ready for any cover of a home and garden magazine.

One of the most basic forms of spring garden care is getting rid of any debris that has accumulated. This includes everything you might encounter from weeds to fallen branches. Weeds are a common nuisance for many gardeners and the sooner in the season you can remove them the better. When removing weeds or the like be sure to get the root or they will inevitably grow back. Pruning of any dead leaves on things like trees will also be beneficial during this time along with removing unwanted extras like fallen leaves or, as stated above, fallen branches.

Taking Care of Perennials

Perennials by definition are plants that grow back each year from their roots, the most rigid definition being a plant that grows back for more than two years. This is different from an annual which is alive for only one season. Because of this, perennials will be a reoccurring part of your garden that will need care. One of the most important parts of maintaining perennials is to cut back any of the dead tops that have been neglected through the winter. It is also the ideal time to move or divide perennials if that is something a gardener wants to do. A single fertilization at the start of the season is likely to make a huge difference.

Upkeep Through The Season

While it is important to do a few tasks at the start of spring, it is just as important to maintain the garden longterm which requires consistent effort. This means that an individual should continue to keep an eye on their garden long after the initial buzz has worn off. Included in this are tasks like pruning that should be kept up with through the season. Any person who ensures they are focusing on the continued upkeep of their garden is sure to see the payoff throughout spring.

Plant New Flowers

As a fact, spring is also a good time to consider planting new additions to the garden. If you’ve finished all the other tips that must be completed for your garden to thrive than it may be time to take your focus toward new plants and the future of your garden. If you’re looking to add more life to your garden than you’ll find new plants are a great way to do that. Many recommend the planting of perennials because they grow back each year as opposed to an annual which will live for one season. Perennials should be considered an investment in your garden as anything else.
