Yes! Outside! Little Wind! I burned leaves and brush, hooked up a hose, played in the compost bin, thought a lot about my spring planting and where things would go. I try to plant things together which "like" each other and not use the same plant family year after year in a bed. However, I've justified putting the tomatoes in their deep bed again this year because of the topsoil I'm getting soon from Neosho Tree Service. I just love those people!

Also thinking of growing broccoli and collards from seed planted late (or middle?) February. I may be rushing things. In late August I'll be moaning to you that I'm All.Gardened.Out.
Hmmm - Helen moved rocks early early spring - Smart. No snakes.

I used my Echo chain saw to cut some tall grass. It worked well. I have more to cut; I was just sawing everything in sight. The ones I cut were already making green shoots. I hope we get a little cold in between the warm days because everything is going to shoot out too early at this rate.

I noticed today that the buds on the tulip magnolia are swelling. No signs of pink yet but if we don't get some cold to slow them down they will be blooming by next week. Then likely get hit by a cold spell and we will lose our magnolia blooms again this year. They only get a chance to flower well once in every three years or so anyway, seems like they are always just opening nicely when we get a deep freeze.

I planted a 25-foot row of sprouted garlic. I know I should have done it last fall, but I figure I have nothing to loose.
All I did was drag some mulch out of the row, then pull the hoe down the row and plant. Right after we got a nice 3/4 inch rain so that should be a plus.

Helen, I plan to either burn off or tie in a bundle and chain saw down my ornamental grasses shortly. I waited too late last year and scorched some nearby plants.
