Summer will be here soon and your garden might be in need of some love as during winter it usually stays ignored. It stays covered up, with all the furniture tucked in the garage and no signs of any greenery. But now it is the time to bring out the furniture, trim the grass and plant a few greens. Here are some tips to get your garden ready for summer:

1. Paint The Fence
