Fifth Day of Spring

Hey it's another post a day late, but the only thing that matters is the post is made, lol.

Yesterday's tasks were kept real simple and focused on cleaning out bins and discarding any that can't be used anymore. I'm the person that'll get my money's worth out of something, so you can only imagine how worn out those bins had to be, for me to throw them out.

Clearing up the bins in the  driveway was such a small-big task; small in regards, that it was a small and simple task, but big and grand because it brought forth some new ideas/plans for the container garden.

The clean-up was fun, now onto the glow-up!

Keep growing y'all 😊

Fourth Day of Spring

Today was a short day in the garden, but everyday is valuable and gets me closer to a bountiful garden. 

Sorry no pictures, but I'm heavily into the stock market, and many of my favorite Youtubers' live streams play while doing my gardening tasks, and besides the AMC and Game Stop story is so exciting--can't miss a moment. 

So today, I planted beets, harvested four baby garlic shoots, and  cleared more groundcoverings. 

These tasks probably took an hour and a half to accomplish, but it's another step to a bountiful garden.

As I've completed these tasks over this first week of Spring, I hope you're encouraged to get out and get growing!

Third Day of Spring

Beautiful spring day here in the A, and one of the two free days from driving and running errands was spent doing some yard work before the rain comes in, later this week.

Some jobs performed

• Spacing green onions 
• Replanting sage and rosemary(these were drying up indoors and in their former pots)
• Preparing a flower bed around the mailbox.
• Removed some groundcoverings.
• Planted the first 4 watermelon hills. 

Another very productive day in the garden and eventually a very bountiful one, too.

Second Day of Spring: Being More Strategic

The husband and I started our day at a Macy's store that's closing their doors, today. We were hoping to find a few goodies before the doors officially closed, however, we had no luck---if we needed floor rugs, we would've hit the jackpot since that was the only stuff left besides the store lighting and cash registers. My husband actually thought about purchasing some track lighting for our back porch, but on second thought he decided against it, more so they seemed a bit old.

After walking through Macy's, we headed to our local Lowe's. The hubster was looking for ceiling fans, an extension cord and a couple of two to three converter prongs. I, on the other hand, spent my time in the lawn and garden section wrestling with the idea of getting a shopping cart or not. Lowe's had so many things that I wanted, like these large plastic looking wine barrels that were fairly priced around $15. I could've easily picked up four of them to grow some veggies in, and to add some charm to my outdoor spaces.

With today being the second day of Spring and a very nice weather day, I might add, I loved seeing so many carts full with flowers, mulch, planters, and soil. I seriously wanted to have a cart full of stuff, too, but before I buy anything else for my yard or garden, I seriously need a plan in place. It's nice to have things on hand, but I also need to be strategic about my lawn and garden shopping like I am about my grocery shopping.

Today I did myself a favor---walked around and took note of some ideas. Yeah, it was a good day! Happy Spring, everyone!

Happy Spring!

Spring is Near!!
