Springs Frustrations

Okay, I didn't plant my tulips that didn't make it into the ground last fall.. I am going to keep them in the fridge and hope they make it to through the summer so that I can plant them this fall. So far, so good.

Every other day we have been getting enough moisture to keep the ground wet and the air cool.. too cool and damp to get out and work the ground. Anytime that I have a day off it is either snowing or raining.. I can't get any yard work done!!!! All I can do is look at the work I wish I could be doing. I was able to tackle the front yard.. raked, fertilized, and reseeded. But then it snowed and got cold, so I don't know if the grass seed will germinate or if it is too cold. The fertilizer should be good however.

Last week I spent sometime demolishing my waterfall setup in the pond, put in a waterfall tank set up instead of just rocks.. but I didn't get it high enough over the pond for sound effects and looks, so I want to redo the redo I just did. I am going to put in a two stage waterfall area.. dig the waterfall tank higher and back about two/three feet, have the waterfall fall into a small water holding area that will then spill into the pond.. I need to pick up some liner and maybe some more rocks.. this will bite into my bog garden area.. but I can "live with that"... Tonight at work I am going to pick up some more pond liner and when I get a chance dig in for the revised waterfall set up.. hope this is the final revision. Cause I want to get the plants established around the pond this year.. plant some groundcover and plants.. and get some grass around the area, so it doesn't look so barren around the backyard.

Til the weather clears I guess I'll be blogging instead of bogging.
