My favorite and a MOST welcome sight today!!!!! Thanks
Went out for a walk today, then came home and cleaned up the beds a bit. Guess I’ll be focusing on the garden.
I flew home from my New England ski trip last night (got it in ~just~ in the knick of time!) and while hunting for TP (unsuccessfully) I did pick up all my seeds for the season, Miracle Grow soil etc, since, as you say, this may be the main activity for the next 4-6 weeks of "social isolation". Our weather here is definitely ready ahead of usual. We've had snow here as late at April 19th so I usually wait until tax day to plant vulnerables and look at the 5 day forecast. Long ago I got optimistic and planted March 30th and had to redo. : (
You are welcome! I love that plant.My favorite and a MOST welcome sight today!!!!! Thanks
@liquidfeet - Looks like a crapload of leaves! You've got a lot of time invested in raking.
I've tried to count the mature (150-200 year old) oaks surrounding my yard. It's hard to do because do I only count the ones in front, or the ones just behind them too, since their leaves make it onto my property as well? How deep should I count? I'm surrounded on all sides by woods.
And then when the oak tree has three massive trunks rising from the ground (I have two of these), do I count those as 6 oaks or 2 ? Anyway, I have 14-ish down the driveway, and another 14-ish around the yard itself. Plus other trees too. So yes, a crapload of leaves and time. I don't hire any help. It's just me and my rakes. I have 4 metal rakes, four spades, and one iron rake. I use them all.
I hate the leaf blower.
