Such excitement is not just good for gardeners, but can benefi t the garden in the months to come as well. If your garden project is still around the corner, completing the following tasks can ensure your garden gets a good start. Clear debris One of the best things you can do for your garden after the cold season is to clear it of debris. Winter can be especially harsh on a landscape, and gardens left to the elements are often fi lled with debris once spring arrives. Dead leaves, fallen branches, rocks that surfaced during the winter frost, and even garbage that might have blown about in winter winds can all pile up in a garden over a typical winter. Clearing such debris likely won't take long, but it's a great fi rst step toward restoring the garden before the time comes to plant and grow the garden once again. Examine the soil Soil plays a signifi cant role in whether a garden thrives or struggles. Examining the soil before the sea- son starts can help gardeners address any issues be- fore they plant. Ignoring the soil until a problem arises can turn the upcoming gardening season into a lost op- portunity, so test the soil to determine if it has any nutri- ent or mineral defi ciencies. This may require the help of a professional, but if a problem arises, you might be able to adjust the acidity or alkalinity of the soil and still enjoy a successful gardening season. Visit Cleveland County Cooperative Extension at cleveland.ces.ncsu. edu for information on testing your soil. Another way to examine the soil is less complex... reach into the soil and dig out a handful. If the soil quickly crumbles, you can start preparing for garden- ing seasoning. But if the soil is still clumped together, it needs more time to dry out before you can begin your prep work. Initiate edging Edging is another task gardeners can begin as they get ready for the season. Edge plant and fl ower beds, but be sure to use a spade with a fl at blade or an edger designed to edge fl ower beds. Such tools will cut deep enough so grass roots that may eventually grow into the fl ower bed are severed. Fight weeds Though weeds likely have not survived the winter, that does not mean they won't return once the weather starts to heat up. But as inevitable as weeds may seem, homeowners can take steps to prevent weeds from taking over. Using mulch such as straw, rotted hay, wood chips or pine needles can help suppress weeds, even cardboard provides cover for soil until crops or fl owers can be planted. Another good alternative is planting a cover crop of clover or buck- wheat which add nutrients back into the soil.
