Spring Forward: Early Garden Prep Tips & Fresh Home Ideas

3/12/2024

With temperatures feeling more like April than March here in New England, the itch to get out in our gardens and yards is stronger than ever. While it's still a tad too early for planting, there's plenty we can do to prep our outdoor spaces for the blooming season ahead as well as some things we can do inside to help welcome the spring!  Let's dive into some early garden prep tips and indoor spring projects to make the most of this delightful weather!

​Craving the outdoors? Early Garden Prep ideas:
  • Clear Away Winter Debris: Rake up any leftover leaves, clear out dead plants, and tidy up garden beds. This not only improves the appearance of your garden but also helps prevent pests and diseases.
  • Plan Your Garden Layout: Take advantage of the warm days to plan your garden beds. Sketch out where you want to plant flowers, vegetables, and herbs. Consider companion planting for healthier crops.
  • Soil Preparation: When the ground is soft enough, it's a great time to work on your soil. Add compost or aged manure to enrich the soil and improve drainage. Turn the soil to aerate and mix in the amendments.
  • Start Seeds Indoors: For those eager to get growing, start seeds indoors for vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and herbs. Use seed trays or pots filled with seed-starting mix, and place them in a sunny spot indoors or under grow lights.
  • Check and Clean Tools: Before the busy gardening season kicks in, take stock of your tools. Sharpen blades, oil wooden handles, and replace any worn-out equipment. A little maintenance now saves time later.

Still too cold to venture out? Spring Refresh Inside:
  • Declutter and Organize: Channel the fresh energy of spring by decluttering closets, drawers, and cabinets. Donate items you no longer need and organize the rest for a tidy home.
  • Deep Clean Rooms: Dive into a deep cleaning spree! Dust corners, vacuum under furniture, scrub baseboards, and wash windows for a sparkling fresh home.
  • Bring in Greenery:  While our gardens are getting ready outside, bring a touch of spring indoors with houseplants and fresh flowers. They not only add a pop of color but also improve air quality.
  • Refresh Decor: Swap out heavy winter decor for lighter, brighter options. Add throw pillows in pastel hues, switch out dark curtains for sheer ones, and bring in spring-themed art or accessories.
  • Tried and True: Even with the days getting longer, there's nothing quite like cozying up with a good book or indulging in a movie marathon! Why not host a game night with friends or experiment with some new recipes

Whether inside or out, embrace the spirit of this early spring! From blooming gardens to fresh home decor, let the season inspire you to welcome new beginnings with open arms.
