Weekend Gardening

So this year in my area, we’ve had hardly a winter.  I don’t think I’ve seen a winter that has as little snow as this had.  Which is a shame because I love winter.  It’s my favorite season.  I love the silent snow and the way it turns the world to crystal.  ~sigh… oh well.  It’s time to move on because it’s so frigg’n warm now that we’ve actually been able to get out and clean up and get the gardens ready.

We’ve never been able to get it done this early so it was nice to get a head start on things.  We tilled the back beds and cleared out anything that was left over from our tree removal last year.  Then we moved to the front where I cleaned up the lawn (damn thatch) and then we tackled cleaning up the front beds as we decide what to do with them this year.

We’re not the best gardeners.  We struggle a bit as we try and find things that will grow as we would like, but we’re learning and we’ll keep trying.  Maybe we’ll have the beautiful gardens that we want some day.
