Monthly Gardening Tips: Awakening the Spring Garden
April is the time when gardens in Cherrybrook really begin to come back to life. This month is all about preparing soil, planting early flowers and vegetables, and getting lawns and beds ready for the growing season.
🌱 This Month's Gardening Focus
- Clear the Beds: Remove weeds and winter debris to prepare for new growth.
- Mulching: Add compost or bark mulch to retain moisture and improve soil.
- Planting: Plant sweet peas, early potatoes, onions, and hardy flowers.
- Lawn Care: Start mowing lawns lightly and edge borders.
