Spring Gardening Tips
1. Refresh Your Beds. Remove winter debris and add fresh soil or compost before planting.
2. Feed Early. Apply fertilizer early in the season to encourage healthy root development.
3. Mulch Matters. Mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds during warmer months.
4. Water Consistently. New plants need regular watering, especially during dry coastal spring weather.
5. Plant Native When Possible. Native plants often require less maintenance and support local pollinators.
