Are we all keeping a spiffy as our new favorite garden center here, Longwood Nursery in Waldorf?
LOL not me!

My front sidewalk looks mysteriously filthy, needs pressure washing, something I am NOT in the habit of doing, but really for some reason it is very grey in areas.

DH considered lawn fertilizer but we will first use up some from last year. Probably should use lime as well- do you all lime every year?

Some shrubs have grown well and need trimming.

At this point I am trying to get vegetables in first. I planted okra seed and bought sweet potato plants. I brought two bales of pine needle from North Carolina. Each is smaller than a bale of straw but I expect it to fluff up and be very fun to walk on in my vege garden paths, over the cardboard.
