What do you do to spruce up your yard for Spring?

I love to go to our neighborhood garden store and look for pretty annuals and perennials. Usually we’ll plant them in our small garden area or directly into pots. We try to prevent weeds by using a weed preventer but it never seems to work. My husband and I are always pulling weeds and spraying.

This year we’ll probably have to hire someone to put down new mulch for us. It’s too big of a job for either one of us to do anymore. We’ll also be looking for some new plants to replace ones that weren’t doing well, on the western exposure.

If something needs trimming and it’s not too tall we’ll do that too.

Send the hubby out to clean out flower beds, put new mulch down, and clip back all the shrubs. Yup I love my outside to look nice just don’t like to do it myself!!  :heart::womanlol:

….PAY THE LAWN MAITENANCE BILL! :womanlol:    LIVE IN CONDO…TRIED FLOWERS ALONG PATH TO ENTRYWAY-GOT A ‘NOTICE’….PUT SOLAR LIGHTS TO LIGHT PATH….ANOTHER ‘NOTICE’ :womanfrustrated: SO, MADE MY OWN MINI ‘GARDEN / TRELLIS’ BEHIND (on my patio) AND MAINTAIN MYSELF, SO FAR, NO NOTICE…WE’LL SEE! :womanvery-happy:

Right now..I’m thinking a bulldozer and 6 trucks full of cement!..LOL

That might help the 2 acres of small gardens here..Then there are 2 acres of pines trees..not much to do there..

Unless John would like to come here to help..My honey is useless when it comes to outside stuff…Inside stuff for that mtter too!…I’m getting to old for this stuff..

No gardeners to hire here..

John after the big cleanup I usually add more color changing solar lights.  They work all year round and compliment all the seasons.  It sets the house off from the whole neigherhood
