April 2026 – Spring is here!

A sure sign of spring is the booming red flowers of a Red Maple tree, scientifically known as Acer rubrum

As Spring 2026 has officially arrived and is in full swing, we are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to dedicate our time and energy to rejuvenating our outdoor spaces. Although the purchase and arrangement of new lawn furniture will have to take a backseat to more immediate needs, our current focus is squarely on essential tasks such as applying pellet lime to nourish the soil and strategically sowing premium grass seed to ensure a lush, vibrant lawn. In addition to these lawn care activities, we are also diligently working to prepare our vegetable and flower beds, meticulously cultivating the soil and removing any winter debris to create the ideal environment for a bountiful array of spring plants.

It is such a welcome change to see the snow finally disappear, and we are keeping our fingers crossed that we won’t be hit by a surprise late-spring snowstorm. With the colder months behind us, our decks and patios are now bustling with activity as we are eager to take advantage of the pleasant weather and enjoy some much-needed time outdoors after being cooped up inside for so long.
