April 11

Alright! I *think* the snow in our area might be done for a while... though technically our last frost date is officially April 15... but anyway...

So first pic is of my blank garden beds. We cheated this year - due to time and weather restrictions - and hired a crew to come and do our spring yard clean up (basically pull the winter weeds and drop a lot of compost everywhere)

The landscapers pulled all the weeds, but left the foxgloves that started themselves in the beds. These will be moved to new homes.
The two pots have the extra raspberry plants... we really need to find a home for these.
Yeah... I know we need to mow the lawn something awful. I'm hoping it'll be dried out enough this weekend to get that done.

This shot is of the 30 some odd raspberry plants I put in the ground last month. They are starting to green up, so they stand out against the fence.

My plan is to put stepping stones along the raspberries to help keep a nice path to the berries.
