How to prepare the garden for spring

Plant bulbous in your flower garden

After having spent a few months in cold temperatures, as time recovers plants "reawaken" to life. During the months of March to May in the northern hemisphere and from November to February in the southern hemisphere, the garden seems to be able to enjoy a succession of colors and natural shapes that only brighten our days.

But What if I told you that you can make that show even more beautiful? If you are proud of your paradise you may be reluctant to believe me; Even so, I am a somewhat insistent person and I affirm that it is possible 😉. Test my advice and you will find out for yourself.

Create bulbous zones

Tulips in the garden

All the spring bulbous (hyacinths, daffodils, tulips, crocuses, ...) are perfect plants to make a garden more colorful. Therefore, it is highly recommended to look for small areas or areas where to plant them. As for example between two trees and / or palm trees, in the middle of the lawn, at the entrance of the home ... Being plant beings that do not occupy much, can be planted in any corner, yes, bright.

The only thing to keep in mind is that they must be planted at the proper depth; thus, if it measures a height of about 2cm, it will be planted about 3-4cm deep.

Plant flower trees

Prunus serrulata or Japanese cherry tree

Here is a clarification: all trees flourish; however, there are some that produce spectacular flowers in the spring. Some of the most recommended species are:

Get fancy palm trees

I know, I know. The palms they are the vast majority of green color, a color that is very common. But they also play a very important role in a spring garden: as soon as the temperatures rise above 15ºC, there are many that resume their growth. Seeing the new leaves growing upwards and then opening, one after the other, is a joy. So, I am going to advise you to get atypical but very resistant species:

  • rupicola phoenix (supports up to -4ºC).
  • parajubaea sunkha (up to -6ºC)
  • Ceroxylon peruvianum (up to -5ºC)
  • Nannorhops ritchiana (up to -15ºC)

Remove weeds

How to eliminate weeds

During the spring the herbs are an ordeal. They grow and grow… and they grow again. To avoid it, you have to remove them well, that is, at the root, since otherwise we will always see them in the garden. In the event that we cannot, either because we have back or joint pain, there are tricks we can carry out to control them, such as simply covering them with newspaper or a piece of black plastic. On this article you have more information about it.

Take the furniture out to the garden

Garden furniture

Spring is here! It is time to take the garden furniture outside, to be able to enjoy the outdoors while surrounded by plants. Dust them, place them in the area where you usually put them -or in a different one 😉 - and spend time away from home.

In the event that you haven't bought furniture yet, here you have information about the different types there are.

Have my advice been useful to you?

    Very good considerations to prepare the exteriors with the arrival of good weather! Now that we have left the cold behind, it is time to enjoy moments outdoors and, of course, the terraces or gardens are the protagonists. On https://decoandlemon.com/ We recommend adding all the necessary decorative elements to achieve the comfort that is so much sought after.
