Spring has finally sprung here too! Finally heard peepers last night. First sign of spring in my area.
Been in the yard all week. I did mega clean-up this fall and the spring clean-up has been rather easy. There has been 2 feet of snow on the ground all winter so everything blew away. Some twigs, (lots of twigs) and matted grass to rake. Took the heater out of my pond yesterday. All this yard work keeps me out of the stores My wallet is getting rather thin. Lots of new spring outfits and 5 new pairs of wedged sandals, get my toe nails done this wednesday and I can finally take off these socks and boots. It's been a long winter and my feet need air.
Back to the yard, all my spring bulbs are rapidly emerging from their slumber. Buds on my shrubs are swelling, can't wait to smell lilac's. We leave for DC next saturday, hope the cherry blossoms are blooming (better take my claritin)
It's looking like a lot of perennials bit the dust this year, don't know if they got smothered or moled. #1 project rid the yard of these moles, then I can replant.
Two falls ago we took down our monster pines, the lady beside me is having her pines removed next week. After 39 years of shade gardening my yard will soon be drenched in sun. This is a whole new experience for me. After years of a limited selection of garden plants, I get to purchase all the beautiful plants that say (full sun) I'm on a Sun High!
