Spring Chores

I hope to be able to stay home one day this next week to do my spring garden chores. I am far behind in weeding and cutting off the dead leaves and such from my flower gardens. Mulch is needed by the ton. I hope I can buy some for a reasonable price.

In a week or so (usually around Mother's Day) I will spread weed & feed on my lawn. The grass is in bad shape this year as I didn't care of it on schedule last year.

I have annuals and tropicals for the planter garden up by the porch, so I will get that planted on Monday or Tuesday. I can still cover the area if there is the threat of a late frost.

It's much too early for tomato plants to be set, but I have purchased ten. There are nine green cabbages already in the ground, and the peas and radishes are up. Potatoes haven't broken ground yet. I hope to put straw mulch on the veggie garden in the next week or so.

I've only mowed once so far, so I will definitely need to do so again.

I love to do the spring cleaning of the gardens. My biggest problem is finding the time!
