I can see my grass (now that the snow has melted and I’ve cleaned up the debris from over the winter) and it is time to start planning this year’s garden/yard work.
I think that I’m not going to make any new beds this year. I have a hard time keeping up with what I already have. Though I plan to put a strawberry patch in the place of some really ugly plants I ripped out in the fall.
I also want to use my veggie space more wisely this year. I now know that peas grow up (I had no idea last year, embarrassing as that is) and so I can plant my rows differently. Less squash, more peas and beans. Maybe I’ll add something else in there too. We’ll see.
The other thing I want to be sure of is that I don’t neglect mulching the front yard flower beds this year. Last summer we looked like a jungle of weeds. Very embarrassing, but I think people gave me some slack, being enormously pregnant and all.
Happy spring!
I love my strawberries. Also my raspberries and gooseberries (and blueberries, when they grow which is hard to get them to do in our soil in Wisconsin). The lovely and gracious Mrs. Kerner is at me to grow squash and tomatoes this year, and I’m planting more lilies for fun.
