We all love the first flowers of spring! The bright pinks, deep lavenders, and joyful yellows are all true signs of springtime. Of course, sustaining visual interest in the garden is a goal for all garden enthusiasts at this time of year! Boasting flowers of spring and a manicured lawn is entirely possible to achieve (not just in those Home and Garden Magazines!).
Here are your tips to get your garden looking it’s best for springtime!

• Select quality bulbs – Look for those which are plump and firm. Avoid those which are soft, mushy, and on the small side.
• Pick the right spot – Even healthy bulbs will fail if they’re planted in the wrong spot. Most bulbs to best in sun and with well-drained soil.
• Get the timing right – Spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils should be planted in September or October. For summer-blooming beauties, such as dahlia and gladiolus, plant in spring.
• Plant them deep enough – Generally, a Whole two to three times deeper than the bulb is tall!
• Place them pointy side up – The pointed end should be sticking up!
• Give them good quality soil – Well-drained soil rich in organic matter helps the possibility of good blooming.
• Bulbs are plants too – They will always appreciate a good drink after you plant them.
• Bring it back – Remove dead, damaged, and diseased branches from woody plants to get your trees and shrubs healthy again!
