There's going to be a lot of work to do in the garden and yard

Return to Discussions

After our hard freeze of last week. It took out some plants that don't normally freeze back down here. I can't decide when to prune to dead, so I'll probably wait until about Valentine's day.

it has rained so much this year that the yard is water logged and the garden looks like a bomb hit it, may throw a giant tarp over it till next year. actually can't wait for sunny spring want to buy a bunch of roses this year, also looking foward to cutting the grass when it turns green and grows.

RE: there is going to be a lot of garden and yard work

My yard and garden have drained pretty well, so I've been able to spend a few sunny afternoons (like yesterday) out making preparations. I pretty much have all the freeze debris out of the yard and piled up now, did a little tilling in the veggie garden. In a couple of more weeks I'll start back in with vegetables and some color plants in other beds.
I can't wait!!

It finally dried out enough to work in garden. Yesterday I finished tilling it and planted corn, beans peas, squash, cucumbers, radish, and turnips.

I guess yard work is really never ending, lol. I've rebuilt pretty much all my flowerbeds now, got the small vegetable garden in, and have the grass coming back. Everytime I finish one thing, I see another 2 that need to be done!

planted some roses and gardenia the other day really think yard is coming along, haven't been nude except on back porch and pool area so far seems no one works anymore and now house on other side is now occupied, should have moved to a nudist resort years ago but hopefully my trees will grow fast and i will have more privacy soon.
