Must-Do Spring Gardening Tasks to Refresh Your Home & Finances
Spring into action with this handy early spring gardening checklist!
As the chill of winter fades and the warmth of spring approaches, it’s the perfect time to dig into the season—literally and financially. Whether you’re sprucing up your flowerbeds or looking into mortgage options, early preparation can set the tone for a fruitful year. Here’s how to start the season strong with five essential gardening tasks and a quick financial refresh tip.
1. Clean Up Flowerbeds
Winter can leave your garden looking tired and cluttered. Begin your spring gardening by removing dead leaves, weeds, and debris from your flowerbeds. This not only boosts curb appeal but also prevents pests and diseases from taking root in your soil.
2. Divide Your Perennials
Perennials love some space! Early spring is the ideal time to divide overcrowded perennials, encouraging healthier growth and even more blooms throughout the growing season. This also helps spread color across your yard without spending a dime.
3. Add Mulch Around Perennials
Mulch isn’t just for looks—it plays a vital role in retaining soil moisture, suppressing weeds, and regulating soil temperature. A fresh layer of mulch around your perennials in early spring keeps your plants happy and healthy as the temperatures rise.
4. Prune Trees and Shrubs
Pruning is essential for shaping your garden and removing damaged or diseased branches. Early spring is a great time to prune before new growth begins. This encourages strong, beautiful development and keeps your yard looking tidy.
5. Plant Vegetables
It’s prime time to sow cool-weather veggies like lettuce, spinach, and peas. Whether you’re working with raised beds, containers, or a traditional garden plot, early planting gives your produce a head start.
Bonus Tip: Refresh Your Finances for Spring
Just like your garden needs prep, so do your financial plans—especially if you’re considering buying or refinancing a home. With interest rates and market trends always changing, early spring is a great time to evaluate your mortgage. A little preparation now can ensure smoother loan approval and potentially better rates.
