Spring clean up

Luckily for us spring started early this year. We already had some snow drops two weeks ago and last week I saw our first spring corcuses. Because of the lovely weather, last weekend we did a little spring clean up. I racked most of the front yard and flowerbeds, and got most of the old leaves out and spread them out between our two compost bins. And a couple of gardening bags. Since the bare spots in our lawn from last year where still definetly there, we decided we should start the seed earlier this year in the hope that more of a root system would be established by the time the heat of summer started. A therefore went ahead and put down our first bag of grass seed. In a couple of weeks we will go ahead and put the next seeds down in hopes that we wont have to resort to all new sod. We are also thinking of starting this in the backyard, maybe even today. We will see what today brings first though. We have big plans for the garden this year. We want to make it into what we think it can and should be, now the wedding is over we should have more time on our hands, so stay tuned.
