A garden can help you save money on fruits and veggies, while beautiful flower beds can add value to your home. Here are a few tips for maintaining your yard in every season!

Spring

Now is the time to sow seeds and take care to prevent a cool breeze killing your plants.  Plant vegetables that turn over quickly, so you can get more than one crop over the summer. Make sure to always fertilize your grass so that you protect your yard from weeds, insects, and other plant killers. 

Summer

Many plants as well as your lawn require more watering. Adding mulch will help beds to retain moisture. Make sure you pull weeds throughout the season. 

Fall

Enjoy the last of your garden, and then clear your gardens out for the season. Use dead plants for use on your beds for next year. Plant your bulbs for next spring. Fertilize the lawn and prune trees well before the cold air comes around.

Winter

Plan your garden for next year by reading gardening books or exploring Pinterest for ideas If you have irrigation, check for any damage or leaks while the need for watering is low.

Simple tips like these can create a happier and healthier home!
