April, It's April

March just blew right by. Wow!! Got some things started.. making notes of what needs to be done before the season gets into full swing. Weather wasn't always in my favor for getting outside on my days off. That is the hardest part about spring.. being patient and not getting discouraged when things don't go as planned. Spring break is here which is great, but in reality it is too early in the season. Sure I can get some things done, but too often the weather turns, it is too wet, or too early. This week was spent helping Megan get ready to go to school. Next week, everyone should be in school and I will have the days to myself... hoping the weather cooperates cause I want to get some non-planting jobs done before it is time to plant.

I struggle with my garden. I have an image of my garden in my mind and I know I can get it close to this image. I contemplate... how things go over the season. There are times when I can't stay on top of things... too much weeding, too many plants that don't make it cause I didn't get to that corner of the yard when I should have. Is my yard too big for me to handle? What would I do with the areas if I were to eliminate the garden area/s? It's not like I would be able to convert it.. presto, chango.. I now have grass! Is my time spread too thin? Do I waste too much time? Am I working inefficient? What are shortcuts I can take? How can I garden better and more effective? How to I etch out more time for my garden work? This are the stumbling blocks I want to work with this summer. Work as efficient as I can and bring my yard to fruitition.
