There's so much to get done in the garden in May, so it's easy to neglect the smaller tasks that actually make a big difference later on. When I asked a pro what's the number one gardening job everyone forgets to do in May, they said replenish garden soil – an error that can sabotage your summer blooms.
This goes for boosting soil health in borders, pots, and raised beds alike. After a year of growing plants, battling winter, and now getting ready for another productive season ahead, your soil is likely tired and nutrient deficient. Quickly replenishing it with organic matter and amendments specific to your plants' needs is the best way to set your garden up for a successful season.
