Lambton What are Wildlife you looking Inc. forward to this
United spring? Way Is it of a Sarnia-Lambton
refreshed landscape to
add curb appeal to your home? Are you

research, speak to a few professionals

Spring Gardening Checklist:
❏ Seek advice from a professional
and friends to make good plans for
spring landscaping changes you
hope to make.
❏ Plant that tree you should have
years ago (in the right place).
❏ Look into vertical gardening if you
are limited on outdoor space.
❏ Plan a habitat space for wildlife in
your garden.
❏ Improve the soil in veggie beds and
containers with new soil, peat moss,
compost and natural fertilizer.
❏ Keep on top of weeds in a garden
bed by starting clean and consider
adding a layer of mulch/ straw to
keep weeds at bay.
❏ Transplant seedlings and/or sow
seeds into the garden based on the
instructions on the seed packet,
good advice from friends or from
your favourite garden centre.
❏ Feed your plants regularly for a
great yield—you only get out what
your put in. Great organic options
include hen manure & kelp meal.
❏ Plant cold-loving veggies early April
(onions, radish, snow peas and
perennial herbs).
❏ In mid-April to May, plant potatoes,
broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.
❏ Plant tender veggies after the frostfree
date (usually after Victoria
Day) such as tomatoes, peppers,
cucumber and melons.
❏ Water vegetables and fruit regularly
for continued growth.
❏ In June, start to reap the rewards by
picking early crops like leafy greens,
radishes, and strawberries.
