1. Review the Fundamentals

Recognize the significance of basic seasonal gardening and gain the benefits of a beautiful garden all year.

Spring

Spring is the time to let your garden bloom, and the first order of business should be a thorough clean-up of any winter trash. Rake your grass, sweep up dead leaves, and get rid of any weeds. At this time of year, it will be much easier to uproot juvenile weeds with smaller roots. To prevent insects and fungi, inspect your plants early in the season for signs of frost damage.

Spend some time on your lawn to ensure that the grass isn't constantly greener on the other side. The first mow of the year should be done in the spring, and it should be done on a frequent basis to keep your grass healthy and under control. To combat weeds and moss, consider using a lawn fertilizer in the spring.

Spring is an excellent time to begin your own compost heap. Gather plant waste and old leaves and place them in your compost pile or container. Decomposition is accelerated by chopping up the trash. To keep the carbon:nitrogen ratio balanced, add equal amounts of green and brown material to your compost heap.

Summer

With luck, the summer months will offer lots of warm sunshine for us to enjoy - but don't let your plants suffer in silence. Throughout the season, thoroughly water your flowers, plants, and baskets. Collect rainwater and use it to water your plants whenever possible.

With rising temperatures, it is critical to safeguard your soil. Cover cultivated beds with mulch. Mulches, whether natural or man-made, are good in retaining soil moisture.

The increase in bugs is another summer difficulty. Check your plants on a regular basis for symptoms of pest assault, particularly aphids and caterpillars. The best form of defense is to remove the insects by hand whenever possible. Only 3% of bugs and insects are considered pests, so this prevents harming the helpful bugs.

Mediterranean

Without leaving your backyard, you may go to continental Europe and live the Mediterranean lifestyle. Create your very own sun-soaked space by embracing rich terracotta hues (the more oversized pots the better) and introduce pale gravel pathways, mosaic tiles and plenty of fragrant shrubs such as lavender, rosemary, and thyme. A wooden pergola will provide an atmospheric dining spot for those lighter evenings, and you could create your own rustic outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and pared-back furniture. With a handful of potted olive trees, you'll think you've walked into a sunnier climate.
