Your first gardening project this spring?

It is going to be 53 today in Michigan so took a walk around my yard..Gosh it feels good to be out there! I think my first project will be putting a new raised bed over by some large pine trees I have.I want to try roses this year for the first time. The sun feels WONDERFUL.......I know we have to be patient but its SO HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Meams..I'm with you..I took a walk outside too..checked out what is happening..
I am so anxious to get out there and do some gardening..keep dreaming...soon it will be spring..
I saw tiny buds along the branches of my forsythia..and saw lots of perennials nice and green..

I took a walk Saturday. I have 5 yellow crocus out!

It was so nice yesterday and today I walked around the yard too and planted some bulbs had to get my hands dirty. lol I realized I needed more flower beds mmmmm now the question is where? lol I figure you can never have to many until it comes time to weed! yuck! But Back to the 20's tomorrow so my hayday is over for the week.(pouting)

My first job is to mark all the early-blooming bulbs so I won't dig them up later when I'm planting something else!

oh woodsprite you do that too huh?I will dig to plant something and then have to plant the bulbs back.

I knew I wasn't the only one with spring fever!!!! It was 61 here today....just beautiful... Now they are saying we have a winter storm watch with up to 12 in. of snow tomorrow! I'm going to go pull out all my gardening mags right after I have my temper tantrum!!!!!! :0

My first chore was sort of unexpected. Some wild glads that were at the end of the old porch had to be dug because the new porch extends over that area. Well, those little corms are the dickens to get, you are bound to miss a few. Sure enough, a little patch of maybe a dozen or more poked up between the beams, along with some mint. Fortunately, I haven't put the floor in for that area, so today, I dug them out and relocated them. Not good for this year's blooms, but better than covering them with the floor. But the first real planned chore is to get all the junk out of the yard. It sure did accumulate while I was unable to get out there. Looks like a landfill.

Well I started on mine, I build a raised bed and filling with soil now. Have been laying a brick boarder around my flower beds next to the garage. Cutting edges and mulching.

I hope to start enlarging some of my flower beds this next week.
I will be moving some more trees and shrubs from my parents again this year, and seeing what else I can steal LOL.

This last fall we had several loads of soil brought in to level out some areas so we have tons of project lined up for this year.

I need to start taking photos of the stages we are under.

First project is to build a retaining wall on one side of the swimming pool and make a 5 foot wide, 40 feet long flower bed. Hope to make it a brugmansia bed.

My first job is to clean up my grow light room. My second job is to pound it into my head that I will clean it this year at the end of spring so that next year it is not the first job I will have to do. LOL!! :)

Happy Gardening
