Clean up winter waste like dead leaves and branches. Prune shrubs and perennials to remove dead or damaged branches. Fruit trees and bushes need specific pruning.
Soil pH and nutrient levels should be tested. It will clarify what changes are needed. Soil Amendment: Add compost, manure, or peat moss to increase soil structure and fertility. Based on soil test results, adjust pH (lime for acidic soil, sulfur for alkaline).
Based on sunlight, water, and soil conditions, choose planting areas for different plants. Companion Planting: Put plants that benefit each other (e.g., basil and tomatoes) together to boost growth and prevent pests.
Selecting Seeds: Choose seeds for your climate and growing circumstances. Plant Seeds: Use seed-starting mix-filled trays or pots. Plant seeds according to their packages' depth and spacing.
Direct sowing: After the earth warms up, plant cold-hardy plants like peas and lettuce in the garden beds. After the final frost, transplant indoor seedlings to the garden.
