| Spring Is Here! Things that need to be done in April |
Now that the weather has warmed up, at least in our area of
North West Tennessee, it's time to really get fired up about
your lawn and landscape maintenance. So here are a few lawn
care tips and landscaping tips to get you started.
Your lawn should have already had an application of Pre
emergent weed control and possibly Post emergent weed
control for some dandelions, Henbit, wild onion, wild garlic and
other winter weeds. Now it's time for another round. Depending
on where you live, you may need another application of pre
emergent weed control to keep the Crabgrass out. The longer
your growing season, the longer you need to stretch out your
weed control protection. And by now you are probably seeing a
bunch of dandelions and other summer annual weeds that are
starting to stand up. Use one of the 4 step program products
you can find at Lowe's or Home Depot or such. These are
simple programs, the bag tells you when to put it down for what
kind of weed your trying to control. If you haven't aerated this
season now is a good time. Lime application can be put down
still, actually there is never a bad time for lime. Some areas of
the Country you can seed in April. Most of the areas the Spring
seeding time is March 15 to April 15. I prefer seeding in Fall
though, you get much better root system started by Winter and
going into next summer the grass will survive much better.
What ever you can do for your lawn early in the season now will
help the lawn make it through the harsh summer, so if you
haven't already done some of these Lawn Care Tips, get with it!
For your Landscape, there is still time to prune, being selective
on which plants are still to bloom this year. Mulching, edging of
the landscape beds, weeding and put down a weed control
granule to stop the germination of weeds in those beds to
eliminate maybe 90% of your hand weed pulling. Everything you
can do now to prevent weeds in those beds will make the
season easier for you later. Spring is a good time to plant a few
replacement shrubs and trees if you lost any last year. Be sure
to keep them watered through the summer during any periods
of long hot and dry days. This past summer set drought records
going back 120 years in the TN. Valley, maybe we won't have
that this year.
