While weeding isn’t the most fun
GET RID OF PESTS
Certain spring pests should be treated for in the colder months. Lat- imer is especially wary of fire ants, as they’re one of the most active lawn pests in spring. Treating them early will minimize their activity and mitigate potential problems they cause when the weather warms up.
“I can promise you they are going to be everywhere in warm weather, so treat them now,” he says.
GET THOSE LEAVES UP
Latimer knows that leaf blowing or raking is time-consuming, but he says that getting fallen leaves off the ground is essential. Not only are leaves on your lawn an eyesore, but they can also keep a lot of excess moisture from winter rain stuck in your soil. This creates the potential
you can have in your yard, it’s worth the effort. Latimer also recommends putting a pre-emergent out now while cool-season weeds germinate. This is especially important if you have warm-season grass. While you can use pre-emergent on your plant- ing beds as well, he recommends hand-pulling them if you can.
TIDY UP WITH SELECTIVE PRUNING
Pruning will make your shrubs look nice and tidy, however, Lat- imer recommends being careful in your efforts, avoiding plants that are budding. Pruning buds will keep your flowers from being as prolific in the springtime. You can check for buds by combing your hands through the foliage.
