small gardens

Restore safe access, drainage, usable growing space, and irrigation before planning spring purchases or moving tender plants outside.

Identify weeds, prioritize seed production and competition, and match removal to annual roots or persistent runners.

Choose tools for the jobs and reach you need, respect cutting capacity, and keep a compact kit clean, dry, and ready.

Use a short inspection route to prioritize water, weeds, harvests, and follow-up work without treating once a week as enough for every plant.

Match shade plants to the corner's seasonal light, tree-root competition, moisture, and mature dimensions rather than shelter alone.
