Seriously, SPRING spring spring spring SPRING!!!!
Oh, it is spring! Seriously spring. 'The daffodils and cherry trees and magnolias are all blooming' level of spring. And this weekend actually featured decent weather. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get out into the yard on Saturday due to prior commitments, but I did get time in the yard on Sunday. And oh, my poor yard is in such desperate need of attention, it's not even funny. I managed to get half the back veggie bed turned over, and two of the side beds weeded out and planted with early spring veggies, but there's still a ton to be done; the second half of the back bed to be weeded and turned, the southern front bed to be turned again, the other two front beds to be weeded and turned, not to mention amended and planted, stat - and that's not even going into all the maintenance that needs to be done on the flower and herb beds. And we're back to rain this week, at least in theory.
In practice, last night was clear and surprisingly mild. So much so that fisherbear and I went for a nice walk. You can really smell the magnolias, cherries, and pieris japonica at night, much more clearly than you can during the day (or at least that was true last night). It was lovely, and a welcome reminder that summer is just around the corner.
Also a terrifying reminder, as summer *is* just around the corner and I am so behind in my gardening!!!
