The Westport Library’s Getting Your Garden Ready guide walks you through essential early‑season tasks—from researching your agricultural zone and buying seeds ahead of time to cleaning beds, cutting back dead growth, and testing and amending your soil—so your spring garden can thrive once warmer weather arrives. Drawing on expert advice, it emphasizes planning (like creating a sowing calendar and knowing which seeds to start indoors vs. direct‑seed), timely weed removal before they go to seed, and smart soil preparation to ensure healthy germination and robust perennials.
