April is already half done and I don’t even have a working list of what I want to get done yet! Aaaahhhhgggg!
Sylvester - Bantam Rooster
OK… here is the list I KNOW needs to be done:
- Sharpen all tools
- Tune up the lawn mower (wish I could trade it in for a cordless electric)
- Mow once a week
- Clean and treat outdoor furniture
- WEED, WEED, WEED
- Prune storm damage out of trees
- Prune last of roses (we will hope that it’s better late than never)
- Clean and treat the pond weekly
- Clean out the shed (again!)
- Fertilize (go find free horse manure, clean out chicken coop and use, rabbit manure, etc.)
- Get free tree shreddings (let sit for a month before putting on beds or buffer with cardboard)
- Make new compost rings
- Spray roses weekly with baking soda spray
- Spray everything with compost tea
- Wrap apple tree trunk
- Remove forsythia and ornamental peppers (they are too big for their space now)
That should take me well into May and that doesn’t even include any planting! I’m afraid I may forget to plant something until it is too late, so that is my next task – fine tune my planting list.
