Yesterday was the beginning of my yard work season. I took off work around 12:00 and started cleaning up the yard.
I raked out the flower beds, trimming bushes, cleaned off the patio and brought out some patio furniture. Planning on doing more today so I can order estimated 20 yards of mulch for the weekend. I enjoy doing yard work so I'm looking forward to the physical labor and the beatification of my property. </SPAN>

Anyone else planning a weekend of yard work or have you already started? </SPAN>

I hire Mexicans

Nope.

Got a big dog...the heavy snow and cold kept him close to the house this winter. i'll be cleaning up a wheelbarrow full.

I have Golden Doddle and a Golden, we have a kennel and generally we take them to the kennel but the winter snow and cold I just said hell with that.. I had my share of dog crap to clean up...

The yard is nothing more than a huge mud pit, it will be July before I can do anything.......that is as long as it doesn't rain between now and July.

Havent started yet.
To the experts....when is it time to fertilize the lawn?

You want to wait until the soil temperature is 60°. That is typically mid to late April. You want to get down a crabgrass preventer and fertilizer with high nitrogen.

Actually you can put fertilizer down anytime. Grass is already starting to green up a little. Crabgrass doesn't germinate until the soil is 50°, so get your Scotts with Halts or Lesco Dimension (what I use), down before that.

Here are current soil temps. It's still in the 30s, so we have some time before that starts.

I like that shot gun shell planter! What a blast! Ha ha!

Hey Belly: impressive typing on "pachysandra". Mofo.
