The gardening begins!
Although we had clouds that threatened rain all day, we had a warm and pleasant day yesterday. When I woke up and saw the sky, I put off my trip to the grocery store. I knew with my luck, it would pour buckets full, when I had to carry all of the bags into the house. Therefore, I decided to try to sneak in some much-needed gardening before the rain.
I could’ve gone grocery shopping since the rain never made an appearance. However, I’m glad I did the gardening because I managed to clean out both the side and pond gardens before dinner. It felt good to be outside for change.
I have only one more area to clean out and ready for planting and that’s along the back fence. For now all I need to do is trim back the zebra grass and keep the weeds from overrunning the area until it’s time to plant my veggies there.
I’m glad to see my perennials are happy and thriving because I’ll split some of them to take over and enhance the landscape at the MIL’s house.

Wonderful you got to do some gardening. I tried to back track to the posts you mentioned but I can’t seem to get past March 20th. Oh well. I’m sorry to hear your MIL died. Good luck with the house though!
I don’t know why you can’t get back to November’s posts. Hmmm, odd.
Hoorah! The long awaited first day of gardening, finally. It was a long haul over winter. Still too early to garden here, but I can feel your joy.
Yes, I did a little happy dance when I finished yesterday because the gardens looked so much better.
we’ve been debating whether or not to have a garden this year since they are so much work and neither Hubby or I are particularly that dedicated. We will see how it works out.
After having good luck with tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants in the pots and the garden in the back I look forward to doing it again this year. No melons though, they were a pain last year.
