2019 is starting out in a very unpredictable way with unusually mild temperatures in January and little to no snow in the Dakota County area. It almost seems like Spring is right around the corner but don’t be fooled. Regardless of when spring really decides to show its face, it is important to take care of spring yard and garden clean-up at the right time; keeping in mind starting too early may cause some issues and waiting too long might delay your garden.
