Finally.........

We got outside into the garden on Saturday to cut the grass and I did some weeding.

This is part of our front garden.  We are on a corner lot so have quite a lot of grass to cut.  Although you can't see it on this photos there are so many dandelions in our grass.  So this year despite getting a company in to weed and feed our lawns, I am going to overseed each time I cut the grass, and/or at least once a week.  A guy who lives around the corner does that and his grass is lovely.

I don't have a veggie patch, so only grow a few veggies in tubs, so this year I am planning on putting a few tubs on my front patio area, as that is where we get a lot of sun.

Our house is well guarded by these two below, my Molly dog and  my flying pig!

I bought two footstools for the chairs out front.  I prefer to have my feet up when sitting down so these work a treat.

So I can say now that garden season has officially started.  Although it will be at least two more weeks before the risk of frost is over with.

Are you full into gardening mode now?  Or do you not have a garden or are interested in gardening?

Busy day Sunday.......

We worked away all morning in the garden and got the rest of the side of the house finished, except for putting some gravel in the window wells; they are a little short of gravel.

Got the mulch on sale at Home Depot, 4 bags for $10.  Never bought black mulch before, it is quite stinky, no idea what they put on it?

 All seeded, top dressed and watered, so fingers crossed everything grows.

We have a large expanse of grass on the side of the house, and the previous owners had planted three pinky winky Hydrangeas there.  For anyone who cuts their grass you know as well as I do what a pain in the butt it is having to cut round small things like that. 

 So we took them out and covered the holes with sod and soil and grass seed. I put the hydrangeas on the front lawn, posted them on our subdivision Facebook page for free and they were taken within the hour. Can you see all the lovely yellow flowers we have?

I went out and bought a new dandelion/weed extractor.  It's a Fiskers one, this one and it is on sale at Canadian Tire this week for those in Canada.

It works great and is simple to use.  I am even going to get my 5 year old granddaughter to give it a go next time she is up.  Very worth while buying, especially if you hate dandelions like I do!!
