Now is a great time to do an overall evaluation of your garden.   I spent this week doing just that.   I found some shrubs that needed to be cut back hard after several years of being ignored.  I found some blank spots that needed filling in so the area looked fuller and lusher.   I saw some places to add ground covers where the weeds were taking over.  A few plants didn’t make it through the winter and needed to be removed.    The best thing about doing this is the availability of bare-root plants now in the nursery.   Budget-friendly, fresh plants always make the garden better.   What did you notice about your garden after the winter?
