Spring is in full swing, which means now is a great time to give your garden a spring clean before the weather really heats up. Here are some easy tips from Better Homes & Gardens.

Annuals are great for providing pops of color throughout your yard as well as in containers on your front porch or back deck. Check local garden centers for the best options for your area and soil type. Fresh layers of mulch around your plants can also help minimize weeding over the summer.

As your spring bulbs continue to flower, take note of any empty spots in which you may want to plant additional bulbs in the fall.

Thinking of planting veggies? Tomatoes, peppers and herbs are great choices as the weather starts to warm in earnest.

Bird feeders are no exception when it comes to needing a spring clean. If you haven't done so already, wash and refill yours with fresh seeds for the season.
