By mid-May the ground around Caro has finally warmed, and everything planted in it starts to mean business. Premier lawn&garden works both halves of a property — mowing, trimming and edging out on the grass, and tending the beds and borders where mulch, perennials and weeds all compete for the same square foot. Spring and fall cleanups bracket the season, carrying off what winter left behind and what autumn drops. In beet-and-bean country people know good soil when they see it, and a well-kept bed reads like a sentence finished properly. That part is worth staying late for.
