This Spring Stuff Is Hard Work


These days my mornings start about 5:00 AM. 


There's lots of edging, weed pulling, soil amending and perennial dividing going on.


There's seedlings under those milk jugs with the bottoms cut out. It's a great way to protect your seedlings until they get big enough to do without the extra protection. Just don't forget to water them from time to time and leave the top off for ventilation.. 


Lots of new mulch!


That's on top of the normal house chores. You know laundry and cooking and cleaning....


But I have lots of good views,


And at the end of the day I sleep really well : ) Thank God for Ben Gay !

    CQ,

    Beautiful pictures of the outside. I agree, lot's to do when spring hits. All of this outside work will help with sleeping at night, so will the Ben Gay. Have a good day.

    Love to see the photos, everything so neat and tidy. I've resorted to epsom salt baths with a few drops of lavender....bring on good sleep after that!
