A neat, well-groomed garden begins, as they say, from the “threshold”. Remove all winter shelters from conifers and ornamental plants: roses, rhododendrons, clematis, forsythia and Japanese quince, alpine plants, as well as all new perennial and bulbous plantings that you made in the fall.

Also open the planting raspberries, garlic and strawberries, remove the protective strapping from the fruit trees. If you covered a decorative pond for the winter, it is time to open it. Pay special attention to the lawn: brush it with a fan rake from the “felt” – overwintered grass, which now will interfere with the restoration of greenery.

In flower beds, remove overwintered perennial weeds, cut off those perennials that did not have time to cut in the fall.
