Sarah, my sister, is coming over after work today to play in my yard with me. I love working in my yard and would happily play by myself, but for the fact that I have about 90 things that need to be done this week, and no possible way that they will all get done. And the problem with gardens is that if you don't get it done at the right time, you have to wait another year. A whole year! That can't happen.
So this is my "to do" list. I hate making these, since I feel like the time spent making them could be better spent actually doing them, but here it is:
- Clear weeds by mailbox, along driveway
- Put in lawn edging
- Saw down lilac and forsythia bushes
- Plant lawn seeds
- Order lawn seeds (this is not in order)
- Dig out crab grass
- Cut grass by pond
- Dig out mulch (the tree that got cut down and chipped)
- Sift and move compost pile
- Improve soil by said mailbox and driveway
- Weed veggie garden
- Weed flower garden
- Prepare bed for tomatoes
- Put new Y-jack on hose (the last one kind of exploded)
- Plant bulbs
- Move fence beams
- Put up fence
- Mow on Mondays
- Plant trees
- Put up screens
- Chop off dead branches
