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!
