Experts like Rebecca Doel from Arbordale say preparation is the key. She says you can start doing clean-ups, preening, mulching, and fertilizing.
After a long winter and soggy spring there's still plenty to do to get ready for the planting season.
Rebecca says you can go through any plants or shrubs and pull out any broken branches and trim back and cut off anything that is dead.
You can also rake out the beds and start fresh for this season.
Hold off on planting any annuals just yet.
