It’ll be a crime …

by

It’ll be a crime if I don’t get outside sometime this weekend. The weather is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous! Mid 20’s Celsius (70’s F) … I’d be crazy not to get outside after the cool weather we’ve had so far this month wouldn’t I?

I haven’t even begun to do any work in my garden. I haven’t planted any seeds in indoor containers, and I haven’t planted any seeds outdoors either. I have bulbs in the cool basement that I didn’t get around to planting last fall either. I’ve got a lot of work to do.

Problem is – I’ve been really sick the last couple of weeks. I want to get outside, especially since the weather is going to be perfect for working outdoors, but I don’t know if I’ll be up to it.

Wish me luck!

Anyone else planning on getting some gardening done this weekend?






I haven’t put my garden to bed yet!

by

Slap me! I’ve got bulbs to plant and bushes to trim, perennials to cut down and a whole garden to put to bed for the winter. The weather was pretty nice here all week too.

Did I get any gardening done? Nope!

Now watch, I’ll find time sometimes to get all that work done- and believe me- it is work as it take 3 to 5 days to properly get everything away, trimmed, mulched and covered for winter, and the weather will turn cold on me. God forbid it will probably snow.

Won’t I be the fool for not getting it done earlier when I should have?

I can’t help it though. I just don’t feel well lately and the thought of going out there and doing all that stuff is too much for me right now. If I don’t feel better soon there’s a chance that a good portion of it won’t get done properly either. Oh my husband will do his share but he doesn’t really know everything that has to be done. He always helps me but I’m the team leader in the garden.

Fingers crossed that the weather holds for a few days more so I can get the gumption to get out there and do the work that needs to be done!
