Since Spring is closer (I don’t want to jinx it), I’m starting to think about getting ready for warmer days ahead. It’s time to dream of sunshine hitting my face, sitting on my porch reading a book, having a cocktail outside, taking long walks with Punky, cleaning out my closet, refreshing the house with pillow changes or moving things around, tying up loose ends on my house project list, putting away things I use in winter like humidifiers and space heaters, and being in a better mood (thanks to sunlight). A new season gives me renewed energy and causes me to crave different interiors, textures, and designs. Color enters my life more in the Spring as someone who loves to wear black and is moodier in the winter. And I’m so excited for all the flowers! The flower section at the grocery store has been pretty bleak as of late and fresh flowers in the house is one of my weekly rituals.
For the next few weeks, I’m focused on getting my outdoor space ready for Spring. This means heading to the plant nursery and ordering essentials I need.
Make sure yard maintenance programs are in order (weed and grass care, mosquito and tick spray plans)
Pressure wash walkways, back deck, and house (had this done last week)
Make sure hoses are in good working condition for the season ahead (same goes for umbrellas and anything else that will get weekly use)
Sprinkle Preen on mulch beds so there are no break through weeds (hot tip: legally my yard guys aren’t allowed to use fertilizer and legally the company I use to maintain my lawn and keep weeds at bay can’t spray my mulch beds either)
Fertilize every 4-6 weeks, Tips from Carmen (egg shells, coffee grounds, nail clippings, nelson plant food, and grow sticks can be used as fertilizer)
Visit plant nursery to find accent plants for my outdoor planters that are low maintenance and boxwood hedges for privacy from neighbors on my outdoor deck
Order pruning shears so I can try my hand at shaping my boxwoods. I would also love a potting mat to make clean up easier.
