May Home Projects

Earthsense

The weather has been really nice lately, so take advantage by checking off some of these May home projects.  This is prime growing season for weeds, so stay ahead of the barrage with regular weeding.  While you're outdoors, take a few minutes to clean, oil, and sharpen those garden tools for the season.  And always clean and dry your trusted tools after use to prolong their usefulness.  

This is a good time of year to divide any perennials.  You’ll want to carefully dig up the plant, cut the roots in half, and replant the pieces leaving space in between.  It’s a good time for some home refreshers too, like changing out those winter drapes for cooler summer sheers.  Clean the area around your HVAC system and get a routine check-up to keep things cool and running efficiently.
