Surveying your yard is one place to start. Making a list of things to do will make spring gardening easier to get done.
Doing an inventory of tools and yard maintenance items. Repair, fix, or replace items that need help. Clean and organize work areas, sheds, or your garage.
Start or maintain your compost bin or rain water collection. Check your downspouts.
Inspect your garden areas. Take notes on what needs fixing or attention.
.Rake up leaves and gather branches. You can then place them into a yard waste bag or designated area.
Trim and tidy up your garden areas. This can be a good time for cutting back ornamental grasses and removing dead plants.
Remove any weeds or unwanted growth. Clean out any unwanted items in your garden beds. Using a rake can come in handy for you here. Add new soil and/or compost to soil if needed.
Start any seedlings that need to get started indoors. As a result, this will make it easier and more affordable for you later on.
.Determine when your last frost date is expected to be. This will allow you to plan out your planning schedule accordingly (many areas rely on the 'Mother's Day rule of thumb for planting).
Visit your garden center now to see what is new or to get consultations. Load up on mulch, garden soil, and container dirt that you know you will need. Invest in needed fencing. Where I live rabbit season seems to start whenever I start to plant (despite the dogs guarding my yard).
