New homeownder gardening question!

I want to redo a lot of my flowerbeds outside this spring. When do I start to do this?

Also, what are some plans that are easy to maintain but look great? We're really looking to spruce things up outside this year!

Re: New homeownder gardening question!

You can start clearing up the space in the Spring. Don't plant flowers too early. We have late freeze sometimes...April, etc...

You also have to look at your sun exposure. Morning/day/late afternoon. That will help you decide the type of plants.

I personally like periannuals vs. annuals.

You can do bulbs earlier but you are supposed to plant them before the frost the year before.
