Planning for Spring

This time of year is fun for planning out and preparing for your springtime plantings.  With the current chilly weather, here are some ideas to keep you occupied in your yard:Flower Borders

1. Cover up any beds that don’t have anything growing in them with mulch or cardboard.  Also, if you still have any weeds growing, they should be slowed down, so get them pulled up and out of your beds.

2. Make sure your trees are trimmed back for full growth next year.

3. Take a look at your yard.  What are your plans with it next year?  Do you need to plant hearty succulents?  Will you be trying for a California native garden?

4. Make sure you have lights in areas that are useful to you, or in areas that you want to display.

5. If you have an area you aren’t sure about, consider adding a water feature or make it a gathering space for your friends and family.

6. Finally, sit back and relax with something warm and watch the rain fall.

Here’s to a green winter and spring!
