To begin, assess the condition of your lawn and identify any areas that require repair. Walking on frozen or muddy grass can cause damage to the soil structure, which can be challenging to fix. To avoid this, keep off the grass until it has thawed and become firm.
Next, turn your attention to your trees. The weight of snow on their branches can cause them to buckle, so consider installing plastic collars around the trunks of young trees to protect their bark from hungry rodents.
In addition to these tasks, now is an excellent time to start planning your garden layout and selecting the plants you wish to grow in the coming season. By taking these steps, you will be well-prepared to welcome the new growing season with a thriving and healthy garden.
