Mulch, Maintenance, And MORE Garden FUN!
Mulching, Garden Maintenance, and Much, Much MORE!
If you've been following me, you know that April And MAY were EXTREMELY busy times for me, for work. I spent an absurd amount of time in hotels, traveling around the nation, for work. SO much so, that my yards and gardens got out of hand. What time I did have, i couldn't afford to spend doing maintenance, or weeding. Well, I PAID for it. This past couple of weeks, I spent so much time, weeding and mulching, that, I believe I over did it.
I could not be any more sore, short of actual traction or a broken bone...
Fortunately, I had a window, to take advantage of the last of the reasonable weather (no killer HOT days and nights), and do some garden weeding, maintenance, put down some mulch, and lots of little garden tasks, for early June.
RIGHT after the truck dumped a HUGE pile of Hemlock Mulch
It's mostly gone now, maybe 2 yards? 3 yards? maybe, left for me to move. I've moved maybe 5 or 6 so far, of these wheel barrow's worth of weeds, and many more to cut down and remove. the one's without seed go into my compost. The rest to be recycled.
Wish my back, and me, luck in finishing before the garden dies from snows!!!
what garden tasks do you HATE? How do you motivate yourself to get those done?
It really helps me out if you subscribe to my YouTube Channel...

MANY Thanks!
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.

Looks like we were both in weeding mode this week!
I really dislike trimming back the lilacs because they grow so thick so fast if you don't.
Motivation this time was to lay down some ground cover fabtic to prevent them from growing back before topping it with nice red cedar mulch!
Gardening in the Northeast!
I put down cardboard, before dropping the mulch, but you know, same thing!
We missed you at PYPT but Kitty has you covered. Happy Birthday to your Lady!
Made an awesome dinner for her, and some nice ice cream for a treat after!
The garden seems to have missed your attention! It takes a lot to catch up after some time away, but it's impressive how much you've accomplished. I hope you're feeling the satisfaction from all that hard work?
that's so very true!
Yeah yeah. Happy weekend
Its the weeding for me. To get motivated I usually try to get an early start before it gets hot and before I get tired. I also try to coordinate with my wife. Two of us move faster and company helps with the motivation. Love the drone shots 🙂 We have bought bulk a few times but lately have just been catching the sales at the big box stores which are usually ridiculously cheap. Its more trips to town and adds hassle but hell I'm retired so I'm always looking for an excuse to go to town lol
I think I need to figure a way to get the drone to drop the mulch!!!
