Garden checklist
Practical tips on what
to do in your garden in the upcoming months.
Planting bulbs
for spring color
The dog days of summer
will soon ebb and a morning chill will be in the air -- a sure sign
that fall planting time is upon us. If you are planning ahead for early
spring color in your garden, -- now's the time to think daffodils.

Container gardens
Spring is an excellent
time to consider simple, outdoor living enhancements like container
water gardens. They add serenity and a unique, new look to home
landscapes as reflections of water add another dimension of interest
and movement to the surrounding space.

Spring lawn preparation
Now that the wintry
weather is gone and the colorful blooms are back, it's time to think
about spring-cleaning. But while you're washing windows, scrubbing
walls and dusting corners inside the house, don't forget about rolling
up those sleeves and giving the outside a once-over, too.

Water gardens made easy
The love of the
trickling sound of water dates back to early civilization when settling
near naturally occurring water sources was needed to sustain life. Once
cities began forming away from oceans, rivers and other water supplies,
the appreciation for its innate beauty, calming effects and salubrious
properties were longed for. Today, the long-standing art of water gardening
thrives among homeowners eager to maintain these aesthetic benefits.

Outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting
products can be used for a variety of reasons. They help accentuate
gardens, fountains and landscaping so you can enjoy the beauty of your
outdoor living space. In addition, many studies have shown that a
well-lit house will deter criminals. Plus, a lit pathway can help show
the way through the yard and keep you from trampling your garden or
from tripping and falling.
Trimming trees
When it comes to your
shrubs and trees, it might just be that a snip at the right time saves
your pine. After all, gardening experts will be the first to tell you
that pruning-or cutting away dead and dense growth-is a perfect way to
invigorate your plant. But they'll also tell you it's important to
prune at the right season and in the right way otherwise your plant
could be exposed to disease and decay.
