GARDENERS put in plenty of work to get their yards in tip-top shape.
But according to one pro, there's one thing only the most successful gardeners do every morning.
The gardening expert, who goes by The Millennial Gardener on YouTube,explained in a video the one crucial step that many are forgetting to do.
"That one thing is so simple and obvious, yet so many people neglect to do it, and that is a simple perimeter check of your garden," he revealed.
The pro said that he does a perimeter sweep of his garden and fruit trees every day, first thing in the morning.
It's such a simple task that it only takes him three to five minutes, he said.
As for what to look for, the expert explained: "I'm looking for anything that may have blown over during the night, I'm looking for anything that may be wilting and in need of water, I'm looking for anything that may have been damaged by pests…"
Ultimately, he said to look for anything that may look out of place during your perimeter sweep.
For example, the gardening pro noticed several things out of place during his morning perimeter check in the video.
He noticed that his beets and peas were ready to be harvested, his tomato plants needed more clips, and he had a pest issue on some of his plants.

The pro added that daily perimeter checks ensure you notice problems soon after they arise.
"These morning perimeter checks are incredibly helpful at keeping you in tune with your garden so you always know what's going on and so you catch any problems that may have manifested themselves overnight," he explained.
If you really want to go above and beyond with your garden, the pro has a final tip.
He added: "It's also helpful to do one of these perimeter checks at sunset as well at the end of the day if you have time."
