Mows and hoes
Up until now, you may not have done much gardening, aside from watering your houseplants and trimming the artichokes you got at the farmer’s market. Well, now you have a whole lawn to mow (you don’t want it to look like an overgrown marshland, do you?).
And what about that herb garden you’ve always wanted? Stop by your local nursery with pictures of your front and backyard and ask what they recommend for keeping your grass and plants healthy and hydrated.
If you have dry, brown patches, you may want to consider reseeding and fertilizing. You’ll also want some kind of sprinkler system, whether it’s in-ground or a portable unit you hook up to your hose. And, of course, no suburban picture is complete without a lawn mower.
