Almost ready to pick up on the gardening once again.

The mornings are still a little too crisp for my liking, but before long I’ll be out weeding garden beds, and hunched over the lawn trying to limit the spread of dandelions. I’m hoping that last springs nitrogen burns will mostly be gone this year as I didn’t add any more this year. I clogged the spreader and did the rest by hand and the pellets were clumpy and I burned a fair number of patches of earth near our trees. Not the worst thing I’ve done, but I should have tried to break down the clumps further before tossing it on the grass. Live and learn.

I want to wait another couple of days before I put our Glad bulbs and Dahlias in the ground. These late in the spring icy mornings are going to stunt their growth or kill them if we aren’t lucky.

I have a bunch of thistles and thorny weeds to pull along the side of the house too. Lots of low lying branches I should trim off the trees so that I can cut our grass easier, and stop skunks from trying to set up shop beside the deck/ac unit. Lots to do in preparation for late spring, summer and fall.
