Proactive Spring Gardening

Early spring is when I like to take action against weeds with some really serious pro-active weeding. The damp soil makes it much easier to pull the sprouting weed seedling effortlessly.  We have 2 garden beds along the patio, and they are both done now and ready for the season.  This is the Japanese weeping maple garden on the south-east end of the patio:

';And this is the new one on the south-west side.

 We managed to also get the garden patch just inside the driveway gate done as well.  Nothing like a little mulch to make things look happy.  Four more bedding areas to go, plus the 2 window planters.  Our goal is to have it all complete this year before the May long weekend.  I think we'll make it with a week to spare at least.
