Yard cleanup: It is a good time to filter out backyard areas, do some pruning, and do away with invasives corresponding to honeysuckle, English ivy, multiflora roses, and poison ivy (When you don’t have bother with allergy symptoms, chances are you’ll wish to depart the poison ivy alone – it’s a local plant and has many advantages to wildlife.) They’re quite a bit simpler to see proper now than if we wait till spring development has began.
