Expert tips to bring your spring garden goals to life

Whether you’re dreaming of planting colorful flowers, picking homegrown fruits, or veggies, early spring is the perfect time to get started. The following tips and ideas for planting and planning will help you set up your garden for this season and many to come.  

  1. Plant Spring-Blooming Perennials 
    For an instant garden pick-me-up, purchase spring-flowering perennials from the nursery that are just beginning to bud and plant them in garden beds. 
  2. Create a Spring Container 
    Cheer up your entryway with a sunny container combination of mixed bulbs, pink primroses, and lavender violas.  
  3. Add a Handy Garden Tool Station 
    Repurpose a mailbox, or something similar, as a spot for stashing your most-used garden tools, like hand pruners, a trowelgloves, and twine. Tuck the tool station close to beds that most frequently need work — like vegetable patches, flower beds or shrubs that require frequent shearing — and you’ll be thankful to have your go-to tools within reach. 
  4. Plant Summer-Blooming Bulbs 
    Add color and drama to garden borders by incorporating summer-flowering bulbs, including those with tubers, corms, and rhizomes. Many of these summer-flowering bulbs begin to come into their prime as spring flowers fade, and they will reward you with months of blooms. 
  5. Get Your Warm-Season Edible Garden Started 
    After the last frost, plant seedlings of basilcilantrocorncucumberseggplantgreen beansmelonsparsleypepperssquash, and tomatoes in garden beds that receive at least four to six hours of daily sun. Most herbs and veggies grow best in rich, well-draining soil.
