The Great Garden Clean-Up: More Fun Than It Sounds!
First things first, let's tackle the mess winter left behind. Think of it as giving your garden a spa day. Grab your rake and show those dead leaves and fallen branches who's boss. While you're at it, pull up any weeds that had the audacity to stick around through the cold months. Pro tip: wait until the soil dries out a bit before you start yanking. Nobody likes a muddy mess, least of all your poor garden beds.
