I am not sure if what I am doing can be classified as gardening, but it is working in the yard to be prepared for the coming warm weather. It has been a week of discoveries. One is that the mower needs to be replaced. After mowing last Sunday afternoon, I was informed that the new (to us) wheels don't really roll very well. Only then did I understand why I couldn't complete the yard. (Did I really lose that much strength during COVID?) A new mower has been purchased! Take that! Two is that pulling weeds that have appeared in the flower beds is NO fun! When making changes last year I removed mesh, mulch, etc. in order to remove old plants and put us new gardening ones or transplant bulbs and other plants. The good news is that the vast majority of plants seem to have made the transition, even some that were dug up and are growing in a new place have also appeared where they used to be. I am anxious to see what the plants I got from Terese will look like and how they will do. My irises seem to have successfully made the transition. I worked in 3 of the 4 beds last year and now the 4th seems to need some care. I guess that is the task for this year. I may have lost most of my azaleas and a nandina. It's too early to tell on the crape myrtles, but they are cut back. My back really tells me I have worked hard at these tasks. OW! My plans for more plants are a few bedding plants in the flower bed by the front door, probably begonias or petunias and then tomato plants. I hope I have the same good fortune with tomatoes that I did last year. It is really amazing how well the plants survived this truly nasty winter and that hope in plants is evident every day. Now that needs to be translated to people! --Carolyn
