Harden off seedlings
Gradually acclimate indoor-grown seedlings to outdoor conditions over 7–10 days before planting. Start with 1–2 hours of filtered light and increase exposure daily to prevent transplant shock.
Mulch beds and containers
Apply 5–7cm of organic mulch (compost, straw, wood chips) around plants to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds as temperatures rise.
Install supports and stakes
Erect trellises, cages, and stakes for tomatoes, beans, peas, and tall flowers before or immediately after planting to avoid root damage and ensure sturdy growth.
Scout for pests and disease
Inspect plants regularly for aphids, slugs, powdery mildew, and early blight. Remove affected leaves and use organic controls (neem oil, insecticidal soap) as needed.
Water deeply and consistently
Establish a regular watering schedule—most plants need 2–5cm per week depending on rainfall and heat. Water early morning to reduce disease; mulch helps retain moisture.
Deadhead spring bulbs and early flowers
Remove spent blooms from tulips, daffodils, and spring perennials to redirect energy to roots and foliage. Leave stems and leaves until they yellow naturally.
