Seasonal Garden Maintenance Schedule

The garden’s maintenance needs shift with the seasons, and a simple schedule keeps the chores from piling up into a single overwhelming weekend. A little each season beats a lot all at once.

Each season has a focus: spring for planting, summer for watering and weeding, fall for cleanup, and winter for planning and rest. Spreading the work keeps it manageable.

• Spring is for soil prep and early planting
• Summer means steady watering and weeding
• Fall brings cleanup, compost, and planting garlic
• Winter is for tool care and planning
