I'm still composting and getting the beds ready. Been saving seeds to plant a garden when it gets a little warmer. :)

I don't like yard work at all.  Was "forced" to do yard work as a kid, and resent all of it now.

I've started some of my plants here indoors just waiting for the nice weather to plant outside. So looking forward to cleaning up the yard from the debris thrown around during the winter. Can't wait to decorate the yard as well with lights and cute little adornments.

I love yard work as long as it's not weeding or raking.  Both seem to be futile endeavors as the weeds and leaves seem to come back the second your not looking.  I used to plan annuals, but now only plant perennials as it's easier on the wallet.  The only annual I have are potted mums.  I have several blackberry bushes that I planted, but otherwise I don't have vegetable or fruit plants.

I can't wait until the weather warms up (they want 3-5 inches of snow tonight)!, so I can get outside, clean up the yard and start planting flowers.

I am so ready to get my yard done up and garden planted, but it is still cold, alothough i have some cool weather plants peaking right now. Hoping this cold snap will be the last one we have. Some fruit trees were blooming and i think the freeze got them last night. Went out to my brothers Sat. too help my sister-inlaw transplant from little pots to bigger post. She only has 900 plants.  Another 4 weeks and all plants will be going in the green houses. It is a job. But it is a businesss for them. Twice a week in  the summer she will go to the farmers market and sell out all the tomatoes she brings. Like 5-6 bushels plus all the other veggies she brings. It is all organic. So i only plant a itty bitty garden because i get all the free vegies i want, but just like to have some at home too. Isn't life grand.

I'm looking forward to doing some planting this year.
My 4 year old is excited to watch things grow.

That's swell for you.  Unfortunately any thought I might have had about a garden is way gone since it's snowing bigtime here.  It's probably going to be another 2 months at least before I can plant anything outside.  Our winters don't usually go on like this right into spring.  My crocuses have bloomed but evidently everything else will all bloom together sometime in April which happened several years ago too.

This year I have to do some major work in the yard, turn the soil in the back, put some new soil down and partition some are off for a garden. I hate doing yard work but, it has to be done. We are still getting snow in my area so I guess I have a little time left yet. I guess I will started a little after Easter.

I would love to plant some flowers, but I wouldn't where to start. I may try though and see if I can get something to grow. I have also thought about planting some vegetables, but I am afraid the dog would just dig them up.
