Resolutions are often of a generic nature. Thousands of people around the world pledge every year to lose weight, stop smoking, and spend more time with the family. But for others, their resolutions will be of a more specific and practical variety. And none are more practical than those made by green-thumbed gardeners.
Practical Resolutions for any Season
Gardening resolutions are great because they can be made and kept at any time of the year. It doesn’t matter if the ground is still frozen over – an intrepid gardener can turn their hand to green-thumbed pursuits no matter how low the temperatures drop. So here are the top resolutions for gardeners which can be kept throughout the coming months.
Winter Resolutions
Winter is all about planning, so your winter gardening resolutions should include preparing plants for the coming spring. You can do this in many ways, from repairing garden elements (including hosepipes, fencing and tools), to re-potting your perennials or planning for a complete renovation. You might even want to give your garden planning resolutions a boost by treating yourself to some cute gardening gifts from Treat Republic, such as a beautiful bird bath or adorable pine cone bird feeder.
Spring Resolutions
Spring is the time when gardeners really begin to come into their own, so a great resolution would be to make a start on all of your pre-prepared garden plans. Whether you intend to implement a complete garden overhaul or simply wish to tidy up your shrubs, spring is the time to begin clearing away the debris of the past year and start making some real changes.
Summer Resolutions
Summer is a wonderful time for gardeners, as you can see all of your hard work coming into bloom. If you kept your winter and spring resolutions you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But don’t rest on your laurels for too long – a great summer resolution might be to enter your beautiful garden into a competition, or to have friends over for a barbeque so they can admire your handiwork.
Autumn Resolutions
Autumn is another time for planning and preparation, so your autumn resolutions should always include planning for how you will protect your plants over the coming winter. Any vegetables you planted will be coming up about now, so a great autumn resolution might be to learn some great new recipes!
