I think I am safe in saying that Spring has finally arrived in our area. We have had a few fluke mid-summer days with 80 degree temperatures but last night the weather man forecast the next week to be more spring -like with temperatures in the 60's. It will probably be a short one as it usually is and before long everyone will be complaining about the heat. Not me! I am a summer person and it has been a long cold winter! If you are tempted to complain about the heat and humidity in South-Western Ontario in the summer, just enjoy and remember what our winter days were like,
My wife and I went for our annual spring car ride around our area yesterday. The flowering trees are beautiful and the yellow daffodils are out in full bloom. My wife commented about the beautiful pink and white blossom trees that are so beautiful but so short lived. She used to drive her grandmother around the city when she was still with us to admire the Spring Sights. Grandma was a nature lover.
With Spring, comes some yard work, maybe a little new landscaping and planting some annuals for color here and there. Add some Curb Appeal to your home. We all want to create that `Welcome Look` to our front entrances. You may even have some window boxes that you can plant.
Lawns have to be cut and it is time to spray those nasty weeds that keep coming up in the gardens. Be careful not to pick a windy day as you will get over spray and ruin your plants. Spray close to the weed root. Be sure to trim all the dead off your bushes and plants and give them room to sprout new growth. We always liked to put a fresh coat of mulch on the gardens and spray weeds and fertilize the lawn at this time of year. If you do not know what to use, get some Professional advise. We have several Chatham-Kent Nurseries and Landscape Companies who can help. You may even have to consider staining your deck or fence to give it that fresh look.
Good planting everyone and enjoy the weather!
