II. Spring Maintenance
Spring is the perfect time to tidy up and prepare your garden for the growing season ahead.

After a long winter, it's essential to remove any debris that may have accumulated in your garden. This includes dead branches, leaves, and other plant material that can harbor pests and diseases.
B. Prune Back Perennials
Perennials need regular pruning to keep them healthy and promote new growth.
C. Plant New Flowers & Vegetables
Spring is an excellent time to plant new flowers and vegetables in your morning garden.
III. Summer Maintenance
Summer brings warm weather and long days - perfect for tending to your morning garden!
A. Water Wisely
Make sure not to overwater or underwater during the summer months by monitoring soil moisture levels regularly.
B. Deadhead Blooms Regularly
Deadheading encourages more blooms from perennials like roses, peonies, etc., giving them a beautiful appearance throughout the season while preventing seed production which could lead further maintenance challenges later on down line (e.g., removing spent flowers).
