My early spring tip for you is surprisingly simple… Stay out of the garden!
I know it might not seem too inviting right now but the weather will warm up in the next few weeks and the remaining snow will melt and you will be tempted to go wandering through the garden and lawn.
Please don’t. The soil will need lots of time to dry up and soak in all that moisture. Compacting it now will not help things for the rest of the season. So sit back and watch the garden come alive by the middle of April… we hope! There will be plenty to do in May!
