- See what’s missing. Are there areas where you need screening because you suddenly you notice the air conditioning unit that looks horrible?
- Add trellises, tuteurs, and supports if you need some.
- Help your hardscape. Get sand to fill the cracks on a brick path or add stone edging if you want some.
- Plant shrubs and trees. Give your garden good bones by strategically placing small trees and shrubs to anchor beds.
- Place your order. After you decide how to fill the holes, place an early order to get the best selection and prices on both specimen trees and hardscape elements.
- Buy seeds.
- Rehab your tools – clean, oil and repair them.
- Prune judiciously. If you live in a zone where you already see that trees and shrubs have buds swelling, you want to get the pruning done before they do leaf out.
- Weed with enthusiasm. If your ground is not frozen, now is a great time for weeding before the roots get established and everything goes to seed.
- Mulch for moisture. If you have a shrub border established and you want to get that mulch on before it gets hot, it’s not a bad idea.
