Every year I know I need to get out and start cleaning my flower beds early in March, because we generally have some nice days then.
But, I don't do it.
This year March came in like a lamb with sunny days and temperatures in the 50s-70s.
(We also had some really nice days in February, but I refuse to work outside in February.)
This winter wasn't as cold or snowy as the last two years. We had our biggest snow in last December,
almost 11 inches.

This is still the same snow.

I got out March 21st and cleaned out flower beds to the tune of two garden cart loads and two more loads today.
Jim is outside planting rhubarb, which we have never had any luck with since it needs acidic soil and we don't have any, and asparagus to add to our current patch.
After that, he's building rafters for our new chicken house/garden shed.
This project will take awhile, because even though he got most of the wood free as leftovers from some of the Costco chicken house projects, (we put the gas in), there will be a lot of other expenses and we pay as we build.
