Where do I Start? Start with your Home!  At the top is best,  roof and gutters making sure all has made it through the gray days of winter with no issues and clean off and out both.  Check vents and windows  for caulking to be good.  After that pressure wash the sides of the home walkways, and patios.  Do you have a Shed or detached garage?  turn your attention to these next check for all the same items as your home and then remember to check underneath for any unwanted critters. After these then look around to see if there is any thing else to be done; touch ups, screens and repairs.

Nurture the Living Things...             Start with trees and bushes do they need trimming?  What needs to be cut back for the best blooms and what do I want to plant and where?  When you go to the home centers it is easy to buy all the pretty things remember what you plant must match the location of the sun for best results.  Bring a sketch of your home and the areas you want to work on and make sure to mark what sunlight is received in that area, east morning or west afternoon?  Remember raised beds and multilevel beds are becoming a great alternative if you have a small space or health issues.
