Summer/fall harvest?

I’ve been walking around my yard looking at all the work to do. Divide perennials, rake up scattered fall leaves that wintered over in crooks and crannies, add fresh mulch and plant annuals. No matter how clean I leave my yard in the fall.. it always looks like it’s partied hard all winter!

I look at my home the same way each spring. What can I do to perk up the exterior? What inexpensive things can I do to up the curb appeal? Bring it up to current market trends? Why do I care? I just do.

It’s planning time. For my yard and for my home. More bushes/perennials.. less annuals, but strategically placed. Just like planning for a new addition, porch or exterior update.

Don’t let today’s April snow flurries and cold fool you. It is spring and soon will be summer. Soon here in Minnesota your summer seedlings can be nestled in warm soil, and with tender care and time you will have gorgeous summer blooms! And the same goes for your home project. We plant your “seedling,” cultivate it and in time you will harvest the beautiful addition, kitchen or home interior update of your dreams!

Plan now for summer/fall harvest!
