If you're like me, take your garden statues and flower pots in for the winter. In my opinion they will last years longer because they are not exposed to the harsh weather and freezing and thawing. I t means a lot more work though in the spring and in the fall. So let's get started!
Aside from the wind it is a gorgeous day. I hope you are cleaning up your flower beds and yards. Your plants are probably beginning to grow so you don't want to wait to long to do this. You can also begin to bring your pots and statues out. I'm ready to bring my plants and flower pots out but it's a little early to do this, depending on the area you live in. We are in zone 5, so technically we could still have a frost or two...even snow. So we'll wait a bit longer to that.
Spring is definetly here. The temperatures have warmed during the day so you can begin preparing your yard. If you didn't clean your flower beds in the fall, begin now by cleaning out the debris. Remove the dry/dead flower stalks and leaves, being careful not to disturb the new growth that may be breaking through the soil. You can prepare your beds and get your pots and planters ready to "pot", but remember it is a bit too early for most plants.
It's time to start planning for the spring. Do you desire to change your garden decor? or maybe you just want to add to your decor. Over the next couple of months retailers will begin to promote new items. Be the first on your block to purchase some of these new items. You might even find a good deal right now.
