Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, these five essential tips will help you kickstart your spring gardening journey and ensure a flourishing garden throughout the season. From soil preparation to plant selection, let’s dive into the essential steps to transform your garden into a vibrant oasis of natural beauty.

#1 Clean Your Garden

Sweep up the fallen leaves, twigs, and other garbage in your garden. Do this regularly if possible.

#2 Weed Removal

Weeds can be a real problem as they steal the nutrients from the plants’ soil and can result in stunted growth of your plants. So, make sure to pluck those weeds out at the root level to prevent them from growing back again.

#3 Fertilizers and Soil Preparation

Winter season can make the garden soil hard and compact, so you need to re-pot your plants into a fresh new potting mix during spring. Just till the top 1 to 2 inches of soil carefully without damaging the plant roots. After this, apply some fertilizer, making sure that you add at least one handful of compost like decomposed cow or horse dung at least once every 15 days.

#4 Pruning

Spring is the best time to prune most of summer plants. Pruning encourages the plants to grow well and makes them bushy.

#5 Start Planting

Depending on the zone you are living in, you can start sowing your seeds like summer vegetables or flowering plants for the summer.
