Spring clean up for your garden

Spring is almost here and I am sure we are all wanting it sooner than later.
Here are a few pointers so you are ready for gardening when it is time. Do your clean up as soon as the weather is nice enough. Do not wait for "planting day" or you will waste your time cleaning instead of enjoying the planting. Cut down all the dead grasses and plants now. You should not have any weeds yet so just clean out the dead leaves etc. and you are ready to go. The safest time to start planting is after May 24Th. So you have some time to get organized. If you know that you would like to move some things around, early spring is the best time.
Make a map of your garden and keep it handy when you are buying plants. Always remember to look at colours and size and space them out well. Your flowers will show off better if they are not beside the same type or colour.
Have fun with it, flowers can always be moved around, don't be afraid.
