GOOD MORNING APRIL….

GOOD MORNING APRIL….

Ok, so we are a week into April… but still.. we are having teasing weather..  peeking at 60 degree weather.. making one think of the yard.. 

To me…  APRIL is the beginning of the year..  January, February and March are just months to give us enough rest to get going on to the rest of the year. That is, if we aren’t shoveling snow.. and we didn’t do much of that this year.

Oh the yard..  so full of brown leaves, on the bushes.. and dead branches to be cut off..   So much to do.. but it is SPRING..  and sweatshirt weather.. 

Except of course for the days of rain..  after all .. remember.. APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS..  We get so excited..  but the cold stays .. so can’t get the plants into the ground quite yet.  So feel like our feet are spinning in the mud.  Ready to GO..

There is the tilling up the garden. .. the flower gardens need to be weeded and more mulch.   We are so ready to..go get the yard clean up.. I do the front yard first as it has the least of the bunch..  then going around the sides..  the back is the worse. But the veggie garden… is the King’s territory .. he has the green house to start plants.. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAN OUT.. it becomes a catch all in the fall.. 

So it is looking for the buds..  cutting the bushes dead stuff off and rake out the dead brown leaves from the clematis.

Maybe sneak a little of the yard art out.  

But all in all.  April brings on the spirits of joy.. if you can over look the mud and all the stuff to be removed before you can get excited about planting..  and remembering not to plant too soon.. That is anytime before June, in Idaho …..but one month at a time..
