There is always a lot to do in spring. Shrubs and roses have to be trimmed, beds have to be cleared. The first weeds make themselves felt. Now is also the time to divide perennials that have grown, to spread fertilizer and compost on the beds, or to renew the layer of bark mulch. Container plants can/should be repotted. Spring is also ideal for putting new ideas into practice. Plans that were thoroughly worked out over the winter can now be realized. If you have nesting boxes in your garden, you should definitely plant them in early spring (end of February, beginning of March). March) remember to clean these up so that tits and other small birds can use them again can. When the garden wakes up from hibernation, there is a lot to do. In mild regions, the sowing of certain plants can begin as early as February. Ground frost should no longer be present if you want to sow directly in the garden. Spinach, lettuce and radishes are among the first vegetables to be sown in the cold frame. Plants are best grown indoors or in a heated greenhouse. Then you can put them in the garden in good time. Spring is a good time of year to propagate trees. Strong branches of privet, forsythia, boxwood and willow are placed in water glasses for rooting. Overwintered fuchsias and geraniums must be cut back heavily. They are planted in new soil. But they will only be released after the Ice Saints. With the beginning of the garden year, there is a lot of work to do to prepare the garden for the year after winter. Whether doing repairs or creating order in the garden again. Find out here which work is pending and what you have to pay attention to.
