Whether youre planting flowers, veggies, or both, remember that nothing grows on its own.
So, its important to start getting ready now for your most beautiful garden yet.
Here are seven lawn and gardentasks to do before June.
Dont wait on this task.
Check to confirm all of your tools are in good, working order.
Then plan to replace anything thats no longer functional.
Before you visit your local garden center, its also a good time to check on your supplies.

Do you need some new planters?
Make a list so you do not forget anything.
This also allows for ample time in case anything needs to be ordered.
