It is getting closer to spring and it’s time to get out there in the garden. This is the season that everything returns to life. It’s time that green shoots replace the brown. This is also the time to look ahead to the summer, which will bring beautiful blooms to your eyes.
You can now clear out the snow from the last few months and start planting vegetables this year. There may be a lot of work depending on the size and area of your yard. You need to plan.
We recommend that you start small, such as clearing out leaves and making the garden easier to access. But there are other things you should do at this time of year. Let’s take a look at the most important spring garden tasks you should tackle and how to do them.
Garden Jobs for Spring
It is a good idea to get rid of any winter debris and leaves. This is a great way to prepare for the coming seasons. Let’s take a look at the most important spring tasks that will follow the clearing up.
Get your greenhouse clean and ready to plant new seeds or seedlings. You can also order your desired plants now and make space in your greenhouse for them.
Deadhead roses, other flowers, and foliage left over from last year’s season should be removed and trimmed to a reasonable height.
For the best growth, plant fruit canes as soon as possible.
After the last frost is gone, start your seeds immediately.
As the title implies, trimming and pruning difficult-to-reach shrubs and hedges is what we are going to be focusing on. This subject deserves its own section. It requires great care and attention.
The Art of Hedge Trimming
The spring will be a time when the hedges need to be looked after, as they were left unattended in winter. They look untidy and unorganized, with uneven growth which needs to be cut and checked. Hedges can grow to be quite tall or wide. Some are also difficult to reach because of their location. Safety is paramount when gardening. To reach and trim hedges efficiently and neatly, we recommend using a pole cutter.
Pole hedge trimming machines can be used to maintain your hedges, shrubs, and bushes in order. This device is a long pole that has trimming blades attached. They can be operated by the handle and allow you to reach far more distances than you might be able with traditional shears.
These tools will make your job much easier if you’re looking to upgrade or replace your garden tool kit. These tools also eliminate the need to use step ladders for tall hedge trimming. This can be dangerous and should not be used if you are on your own. Now that you have the basics of hedge trimming in laval, let’s look at other things you can do in your garden to make it envy-worthy.
Summer Preparation
Once your greenhouse is cleaned and your shed has been cleared, you can now get to work on the spring gardening jobs you need to do in the next few weeks. You can expect to see growth now that the frosts are mostly gone.
Mulch your vegetable garden and fertilize your roses. We recommend that you start begonia corm planting now. They will love the warmth of the soli and grow quickly. Remember that a lawn will grow quickly when the weather improves so wait until it is drier before cutting it.
