Monday Morning Tip ~ Getting Ready for Spring

With temperatures forecasted in the 50's today, one can't help but want to see summer a little bit faster! I spent most of my 20's in Tahoe City, where snow buried the ground well into May. As Memorial Day approached, we used to spread out the snow with our shovels so that it would melt faster exposing our winter covered ground.

How does this apply to Bozeman? Well, if you're getting ready to list your house for the spring, begin now by spreading out the snow burying your lawn. Once the snow melts, yard cleanup can start, such as raking the lawn, cleaning up snow-buried trash, and preparing to plant brightly colored flowers in the ground.

Now is also a great time to plant annuals in pots for your front porch and deck areas. In a few weeks, they'll be growing like gang-busters. Keep an eye on the temperatures as you may need to bring your pots inside during some of the frostiest nights.

By melting your snow and preparing your yard now, your property will be in tip-top shape for spring open houses.
