If you're like me, you were out during the previous couple of weeks starting to get your garden and exterior maintenance going. (The colder weather this week has been very frustrating!)
Here are a couple of things you can do now:
Pruning: Early blooming shrubs, such as forsythia and viburnum, should be pruned as soon as the blooms have passed. This is also a good time to prune your roses.
Deadheading: Remove dead flowers from bulbs, but leave the rest of the plant as is for the time being.
Weeding: Get rid of those old brown ones (they're not dead!), and any new ones before they get a chance to really take hold.
Composting: Tend to your compost if it has been neglected over the winter. And spring is a great time to start one if you've been thinking of beginning one.
