I can not believe it is already Tuesday! How was your weekend? Ours was jammed packed with mulch, weeding, planting, and watering. We are trying to get the yard in tip top shape for the upcoming summer. When Michael and I purchased our house we were excited that had some property with it. I dreamt about having a garden and planting flowers on the weekend but then the reality sets in... you have to remove winter and fall's leftovers before you can "spring" forward. So we put on our gardening gloves and hit the dirt! Thank goodness for you tube is really all I have to say. On you tube you can look up anything, which we have, from installing a shower head to Edging Flower bed.
Since the deer population is HIGH in our area, I decided to plant some Hydrangea in planters this year. I have every intention of bringing them into the screened porch at night so the little Bambies don't eat them...stay tuned on that one...we'll see how long until I just say ..."ah lets just see..."
We also decided to try and grow tomatoes and cucumbers this year. Again, I am using the container method. These I will definitely have to carry into the porch at night...the deer, rabbits, and chipmunks will certainly feast on these. I really hope this works out. I have always wanted a full fenced in garden but since our back yard isn't quite ready I am starting here.
We have two tree peonies that are in much need of pruning and fertilizing...I hope they bloom like they did last year. Last year they bloomed with huge hot pink flowers that we were able to clip and float in a large bowl. It was so pretty!
Next tackle...getting this yard cleaned up. We are taking out three little trees soon and having some stumps ground...we need grass seed and a good cut....
