Getting Ready For Spring

Spring season comes early in Las Vegas. Temperatures are steadily rising and you'll just be surprised that the numbers start hitting three (3) digits. It's high time to prepare the yard and the plants for new growth and new blooms. 

I started working on our lantana plants in our front yard. I pruned the vines on the first week of February, and they looked like this:

After cleaning it's surroundings and fixed the water drip system, I put some fertilizers to soften the trauma of pruning. 

As of this writing, I noticed a small green sprouting out. 

I can't wait to see our lantanas bloom again come spring.

Once thay start growing new vines and  full of flowers, they will look beautiful and covering part of our front yard.
