So-the weather in New Orleans is finally not so wintery and the sun is showing it face routinely except your yard looks like crap. All those lushes tropical plants look like brown mush and all you can think is,  I have so much to do.
Let’s start with a simple plan-
Step 1. Clean up
Begin removing all the dead debris but rather than making huge piles- cut and put the debris in trash bags. This will reduce the amount of time it takes for clean up and if for some reason you get tired or more like over it-then its all cleaned up. Continue to work through the yard hacking and whacking all those plants. Ok- maybe not whacking them to the ground-it is important to make clean cuts removing all frozen or damaged foliage.
Once you have clean up the gardening-you can begin to think of the big picture.
