May Garden To Do's
My May To Do Gardening List. Not Necessarily in the Proper Order
- Finish clearing out sun and shade perennial gardens of weeds & wood hyacinths
- Arrange remaining perennials to be planted
- PLANT THOSE POOR PLANTS
- Map out the new beds
- Line new beds with border stones
- Build 4 new raised vegetable beds, fill with soil
- Plant tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, squash, watermelon
- Start Basil seeds outdoors in mini green house
- Fertilize Strawberries
- Kill Slugs

- Pot new clematis and place
- Purchase mulch mats for new conifers
- Add compost to new raised veggie boxes

I think I can accomplish this! Settling into a new house and gardens is always hard at first but if the jobs are done right, then the enjoyment lasts for ages to come.

Lots to do, but I know you'll have fun getting your list checked off. Your shade garden does look pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat's one ambitious list Jenni but I know you'll accomplish every item on it! The shade gardens, a.k.a. Truckview are looking very nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you fertilize your strawberries with? I have a bunch of the ones you brought to the swap, and they are flowering like crazy. They're in potting soil, and not in the ground though.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a list! It's true, gardens are a lot of work at first, but a good foundation makes the next few years easier.
Ah I remember those lists...had one last spring for our first year here. Threw it away because I never got it all done.
ReplyDeleteSuddenly it goes from cold, to hot here, and last year the mosquitoes were so bad all day, all night. This year I am still working on last years projects, but that's OK. It's all getting done in good time.
Your garden is lovely.
Jen
That's a lot of stuff to do. Good luck! Is that a flowering Philadelphus tree I see in your shade garden?
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your new gardens!!
ReplyDeleteSo what are you gong to do next week? :)
ReplyDeleteDon't pressure yourself to get it all done right now. I'm finding that always having projects ahead of me is part of the FUN of having a new house and yard.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to put a little bit of lazy time on that list.
ReplyDeleteYour shade garden is looking lovely...sit enjoy !!!
