What’s New in Your Garden? Top 10 March Gardening Tips

De Young communities are the perfect place to nourish and grow your family, and your garden!  De Young homes offer spacious homesites and yard sizes with plenty of room to grow your perfect garden to accent your new home.  Spring is finally here and there’s plenty to do in the garden this month to prepare for the warmer months! Check out our top 10 gardening tips for March.

1. Prune away any dead foliage from the winter months. The warmer weather will help to bring your plants back to life soon!
2. Plant veggies that love the cool air, like cabbage, broccoli, spinach, radishes, Asian greens, lettuce and parsley.
3. Plant summer –flowering bulbs like Gladiolus, Lilies and Ranunculus.
4. Fertilize any bulbs that haven’t finished blooming.
5. Weed! It’s never a fun task, but it’s important to pull weeds before they have a chance to flower and seed in the warmer weather.
6. Keep an eye out for aphids! If you see them, spray them off of your plants with water.
7. Repair areas of the lawn that may have been damaged in the cold winter months by dethatching, aerating or raking.
8. Consider planting native hedges to encourage spring wildlife to visit your yard.
9. Consider building a compost bin before the growing season is underway!
10. Visit a De Young Welcome Center! If you love nature and the outdoors, look no further than De Young Trailside, where life is naturally connected! This incredible, affordable community offers several nearby walking trails and parks with close proximity to great schools, and is well-suited to accommodate every phase of life. This community is almost sold out, so hurry over to the De Young Welcome Center on Armstrong south of Gettysburg in Clovis today!

We hope these tips will help your garden blossom and flourish this spring! Be on the lookout for more great tips like these from De Young Properties, coming next month.

Happy gardening!
