The "what I should do in my garden today" thread

[vette-kid]

We have a thread for what we DID in our gardens, how about one for the procrastinators!

I have a lemon that needs to be put in the ground before I lose it. Need to replace log seating around the fire pit and desperately need to rake leaves. I have some shady spots I need to clean out and plant something in, or mulch them. And I have several trees that need thinning and maybe one or two to fell. Lots of minor things could go on that list as well, but those are the big ones.

What's on your list and likely to remain there a bit!?

 

[MaryMary]

I usually start my seeds a little after the first day of Spring, and I have not done that yet. I suppose I could remove some of the leaves from the flowerbed. (Last year I waited too long, and several of my plants were growing all folded up and white under their winter cover.)

likely to remain there a bit!?

Also likely to remain a bit - wait for warm weather, wait for warm weather, and then I have to wait for warm weather.

This time of year, I am quite jealous of you overheated southerners. Then, I remind myself of @DirtMechanic's "Air you can wear!" and it makes it all better!!

And bugs! Do not forget the bugs!

I should give the roses some rose food and then mulch them, but thinking of doing it when the spring bulbs and bedding have finished.

my job right now, is to continue to rake leaves.

 

[DirtMechanic]

I should put out more compost and pelletized lime

 

[Silentrunning]

I still have a tree to chop up that fell last year. Until it is gone I can’t plant more apple trees.

 

[DirtMechanic]

This thread is gonna hurt me. There is so much to do. I need to prep the garden for planting.

 

[Celina]

I need to prune my apple tree and add a thick layer of organic matter under it. And build my raised bed, cut up some branches, chip some clippings, wait for my early plantings to emerge so I can plant more because I can't remember where I planted anything.

 

[vette-kid]

It seems yesterday and overnight my potato's exploded out of the ground, so now I need to layer up. Add it to the list.

 

[Logan]

I need to plant 2 pots of hyacinths.

I often find that only a chance of rain is enough to keep me away from the rake!

Ugh, reading the thread for ambitious people who get things done... Now I need to add filling in low spots/ruts in my lawn. To service ground some stumps last year and left ruts. Need filled in and sod plugs added.
