The first lines of summer residents have already started heading to their plots to check if everything is okay there and how the winter went in general.

The more active ones are busy preparing their gardens and beds for the new season, looking for new seedlings, preparing to fight weeds and pests. The main thing at this time is not to make a mistake.

Mistake 1: Planning

It is not worth buying and planting several crops at the same time, the care of which differs significantly. Due to lack of attention, such plants quickly die. It is better to focus on smaller-scale projects.

Error 2: Landing location

It is important to keep in mind that some seedlings need shady areas, while others, on the contrary, need more sun. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the rules of competent neighborliness.

Mistake 3: Weeds

Weed control begins in early spring. The best option is to sow green manure. Most gardeners are mistaken when they think that the seeds of quinoa or other grasses have died over the winter.

Error 4: problems with watering

Different plants require different watering schedules. This circumstance must be taken into account when planning the beds. Otherwise, it may turn out that you will have to unroll the hose or run with buckets across the entire area.

Mistake 5: Pesticides

In spring, you need to be extremely careful with these preparations. They destroy not only pests, but also beneficial insects, without which pollination is impossible. Work is carried out before the beginning of the summer of winged pests and only in case of extreme necessity.
