Hey guys! In this video I’m doing a Front Porch Refresh and Spring Garden Prep, and I’m breaking it up over three days so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming. Day one is all about the messy part—clearing the front patio and sidewalk, weeding by hand, and deadheading the perennials so they can come back full and beautiful in a few weeks. I also share a few natural weed options I’ve tried (like a vinegar/Dawn/salt mix and even boiling water), but I’m being honest—those can affect future plant growth, so I’m sticking with hand-pulling for now. Day two is shopping day, and I take you with me to grab a new doormat, a wreath, planters, and fresh flowers. I talk through what I look for (like ceramic planters with drainage holes and a matching saucer), what I thought was overpriced, and what I ended up choosing to keep things clean, simple, and budget friendly. Day three is mulch + power washing, and yes…I get a little carried away. I share what I use on the garage door and vinyl window components, why I prefer rubber mulch, how I handle mud dauber nests, and what to watch for so you don’t force water into places it shouldn’t go.
