Maintaining a Garden - Year Round

There is a season and a time for everything - when maintaining a garden stay in tune with the changing seasons. 
Spring >>>  Planting can take place in spring.  Seeds and bulbs and new life - starts now! 
Beds can be shaped and formed.  Seeds can be sown indoors.  The lawn can take some renovation - feeding, weeding and seeding.

Summer >>>  At this point softwood cuttings take easily.  Strategic watering of pots and plants.  Deadheading and weeding and some pruning.  Mowing & improving lawns.
And sitting and enjoying the garden as much as possible!

Autumn >>>  Trimming hedges and shrubs.  It is a time for putting the garden to bed for the winter.  So tidying dead leaves, weeding and getting ahead for the next season.  Also planting bulbs.

Winter >>>  Mulches can be applied at this time of year which feeds the whole soil - improving water retention and structure.  Plants go dormant in winter.  So moving, dividing and planting is good now.  Apple & Pear Trees can be pruned and the structure readily assessed.  Any sort of tree or shrub can be planted now.
