April, 2006Looking back to this time last year, the weather differences have certainly made a difference in what is planted. I absolutely love the cold weather, so the planting delay is not a problem. ;-)
I have enjoyed staying on task by way of list-making. Of course, I have always used lists, but my habit was to all-to-often follow proverbial rabbit trails, thus becoming forgetful of tasks I included on the priority list. Thus items I wanted to transplant didn't always get transplanted.
What a blessing to have more order in my garden, thus my life! Here is a summary of projects and things I look forward to completing:
- raised bed for a "salad garden" NE corner of the backyard
- front sidewalk garden cleared and planted (still need begonias; waited because of the freezing temps this weekend
- stem-by-stem, still clearing renegade elm seedlings; still need to transplant two (2) of these tenacious trees at the back SW corner of the property
- compiled my "to buy" list for completing my landscape plan (yews, pampas grass, selected annuals for borders)
- transplanted roses; sedum in newspaper awaiting final destination
- sodding and seeding backyard now that the pool has been "de-constructed"
