Welcome to YourWeb.Info Shopping Mall!

Spring is in the air! All of this activity is part of the annual spring ritual we go through and stirs anticipation within us of what is yet to come.

Warning:

Frost and hard freezes are still with us, so we have to be careful on what yard and garden work we choose to do now.

Tips To Remember:

1. Raking lawns, should be done when the soil surface is not mushy but is somewhat dry.



2. Remove any disease-infected leaves and old debris from lawn, before lawn becomes too active.



3. Remove any protective tree wrapping that was put on last fall.



4. Perennials, tulips, daffodils and other emerging spring plants should be uncovered immediately. (Even temperatures dipping into the 20s at night will not hurt these plants)



5. Watch for deer, many deer repellants are available. (The trick is to apply the repellents before you see the damage)



6. Pruning of summer blooming shrubs and hedges can take place now.



7. Save early blooming spring shrubs like forsythia, lilac and rhododendrons for pruning immediately after they are done flowering.



8. As soon as soil is dry, enough to work and is no longer sticky, you can get a jump on your gardening.



9. Add composted leaves or manure, some peat moss or rice hulls to garden. (Goal is to dress about one to two inches of combination of organic ingredients and then mix them)

Enjoy spring and happy gardening to all.
