As the seasons change, so do the needs of your garden. Keeping your garden thriving year-round requires a combination of regular maintenance and seasonal adjustments. Here are some tips from K Brown's Property Maintenance to help you keep your garden looking its best no matter the time of year.

Spring: - Start off the season by cleaning up debris leftover from winter. Rake leaves, clear out dead plants, and freshen up your garden beds. - Prune any trees or shrubs that need it to promote healthy growth. - It's a great time to plant new flowers, shrubs, or trees. Be sure to water them regularly to help them get established.

Summer: - Water your plants deeply in the morning or evening to prevent evaporation during the heat of the day. - Deadhead flowers regularly to encourage new blooms. - Keep an eye out for pests and disease, and treat them promptly to prevent damage to your garden.

Fall: - As the temperatures start to cool down, it's a good time to divide any perennials that have become overcrowded. - Plant spring-blooming bulbs like tulips and daffodils for a pop of color early next year. - Keep up with raking leaves and clearing out any debris to prevent issues over the winter.

Winter: - Even in the colder months, there are tasks to be done in the garden. Prune trees and shrubs while they are dormant, and clean and sharpen your tools for the next season. - Plan out any changes or additions you want to make to your garden in the spring. - Consider adding winter interest to your garden with plants like holly or winterberry.
