Garden Photos for April!

It's been a nice day to get out and

take some photos!  Hope you enjoy!

 

Time To Mulch!!

 2024 is our year to do mulch for

for the yard.  So on Monday we 

went and ordered 20 cubic yards

for the yard.

I need to edge the grass area! 

Before:

I was asked about what I use to edge

the lawn, my Martha Stewart's half moon

edger and them to break up the clumps

I use the rake, smash them and then

rake the soil up into the beds.

The delivery was 20 cubic yards, one

truck load so far.

3/16/2024 2 pm  After:

We finished the front yard except the circle

bed in the middle of the yard, it will be a 

different color.

Sunday we start the back yard.

Monday was my day to finish the above

area and do the north side of the house.

plants and shrubs bloom now!

2024 Yard Cleanup / February

 2/4/2024

The wind has kicked up today

before the next storm hits. Already

picked up a full pickle bucket of 

pine branches, limbs, pine cones.

with needles to be vacuumed up

as soon as it dries out.

2/6/2024

Today I was able to vac up Sable's 

area and took  1/2 bag of needles,

and whatever else it would pickup.

Then went to the deck and vac up 

that area of needles and leaves.  Yep

the pine stuff went over the top of

the house, the wind was blowing

that hard.  

2/23/2024

Today I took 3/4 of a bag off Sable's

area and to the west of the shed and

the north of the house.

More wind and rain on the way!

Tulips Are Up!

 I was out in the yard cleaning up

damage and cutting back a few last

plants.  We are just warming up 

from last week's snow and ice storms.

So to my surprise I found my whiskey

barrel full of tulips are up!  They 

Wintered on the North side of the 

house.   They were moved to the 

front driveway after filling the barrel

up with soil to hide them.  Way to early!

Before the storm hit on the 13th of Jan.

I noticed the blue bells were up and our

Dutch Iris were over 2 foot tall.  But sad

to say the rabbits thought they could eat

the tops of the Dutch Iris.

Come on Spring!!
