The last few days have been a welcome reminder that it will not be cold and gray around here forever. Even though Spring doesn’t officially start until the middle of next month, and even though it’s likely to be wet and miserable some more, the plants outside have started waking up already. On the Landscape Committee’s walkthrough this month, we saw crocuses in bloom and lots of daffodils getting ready for center stage. It won’t be long before the dandelions follow.
So, just a reminder that it’s time to start paying attention to your yard. For homeowners, please remember that Impact is only contracted to mow lawns. You are responsible for making sure that your non-lawn areas are weed-free. Adding mulch to these beds will neaten their appearance and suppress weeds. Also, the next few weeks is an excellent time to trim off any remaining die-back from last year’s growth, especially on the lavender and coneflower plants. You’ll know in the next six weeks or so which plants didn’t survive the winter’s freezing and will need to be removed and/or replaced.
