Each fall I regret that there were projects I just didn’t have time to get to and each spring I try to recall the successes and failures of the previous season. This year I’ve decided to change all that and resolve to prioritize certain projects and hopefully solve some of my garden issues.
Take Photographs
Keeping a garden journal will allow me to record what works and what does’t work, so come spring I can look back and avoid making the same mistake twice. Recording my thoughts will also help when I’m trying to come up with new ideas for the garden. As I think of potential projects I’ll be able to record them and refer back to the journal as needed. It will also help keep track of the progress I am making in the garden.
Plant Something For winter Interest
After a long cold winter, spring bulbs are an incredibly welcome sight. Even before they bloom, bulbs evoke warm feelings of sunshine and longer days. Seeing bulbs as they fist sprout out of the ground means that spring is only days away. The color they provide, right through the spring and into early summer, is one of the most joyous sights in the garden.
Make My Garden More Environmentally Friendly
Though.….I want to spend more time enjoying my garden and less time working in it. Though gardening is on of my favorite and soothing pastimes, mowing a vast lawn each week is a chore. Replacing the lawn with a wildflower meadow or a woodland garden, I think will be much more satisfying.
Plant Some Flowers For Cutting
Every year, spring sneaks up on me and before I know it my plants are ready to be pruned and the gardens need to be weeded. This year, I plan on being ready to work in garden and enjoy my yard as soon as the snow melts. I’ll tune up the equipment and sharpen the tools even before the snow melts so when I need them, they’ll be ready to use.
Plan A Vegetable Garden
What could be better than eating fresh fruit that you’ve grown on your own property? Apple trees and pear trees not only produce delicious fruit they are great ornamental flowering tress as well.
