It’s spring!! It’s happening it’s here, the pollen is in the air and we are all sneezing, the birds are chirping and simultaneously starting to swoop us and we are all starting to sweat from our sweltering Aussie heat but none of that matters! Because it’s spring and everything is beautiful. So Greenies, stay with us, because this one is for you.
As many side effects that come with spring (such as birds actually turning on the human race) we ignore these because the days are brighter, the weather is warmer and nature is quite literally blossoming which means if you’ve got the green thumb it’s time to turn your attention to your Spring Garden. At Edible Blooms we have Spring Garden Ideas coming out of Spring Garden Ideas and we are in the mood for sharing.
So our green thumb friends, never fear! Your Spring Garden Ideas 2019 is here!
Check for Signs of New Growth
Start checking for those new growths, because when it comes to your Spring Garden these are the good kinds of growths! You’re literally creating life now guys, it’s a big flipping deal, act like it!
Trim those roses, water that grass, cut magnolia branches and bring them inside to get an early taste of the gorgeous Spring to come!
Prep the Garden Beds
If we are talking Spring Garden Ideas we are talking the three P’s. Preparation, preparation, preparation! So remove winter mulch or if you have composted well, work that bad boy into the top layer of soil. If you’re the type that loves those really smelly Spring Garden Ideas it may also be beneficial to work in some leaf mould or well-rotted manure, MmmMmm what a treat this coming spring.
Prune
Alright guys we all know this one, but it would be criminal to not include pruning for your spring garden ideas 2019 would it not?! Now is the time to trim up all of your fruit trees if you didn’t already snip them back during winter! Prune, and we cannot stress this enough, BEFORE buds begin to bloom. If you do not heed this warning you will be looking at some stressed out trees and the absolute last thing we need for your Spring Garden is to be taking your trees to therapy, this is costly and time consuming, say it with us, ‘prune before buds!’
Perform Basic Maintenance to your Home and Garden
Ya basic. But in the context of Spring Garden Ideas this is actually a super wonderful thing. Getting those basic essentials out of the way is the best way to get your Spring Garden ready and thriving. So check your stonework for frost; and make any repairs to garden beds, pots or garden/gardening utensils. A workman is only as good as his tools so get those suckers in tip top shape, your plants will be loving you sick for it.
Start your Seeds Indoors
